\nTestimonials<\/h3>\n
“Not only does work at R2D2 fit my schedule as a student, but <\/span>it<\/span> also reinforces concepts learned in the MSOT curriculum and facilitates my interest in universal design and assistive technology as a future occupational therapist. I have learned valuable skills in research and design as well as gotten the opportunity to work with and learn from other students and professionals.<\/span>\u201d – Ellison Brooks, UWM MSOT Student<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\u201c<\/span>Working at R2D2 was a great decision I made at the beginning of my MSOT program at UWM because it provided a paid position to not only expand my knowledge on the research process and collaborate with, in my opinion, some of the greatest minds in OT, but also helped me grow as a scholarly practitioner. You take what you want from your experiences! From my perspective, R2D2 has a lot to offer to anyone who is even just slightly interested in research, AT, community health, and more.<\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/span> – Kassandra Bauman, UWM MSOT Graduate<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n“Especially getting the chance to work on the Access-Ratings for Buildings project has been a wonderful experience; I\u2019m very passionate about the work that R2D2 is doing to create comprehensive public building accessibility rating applications to improve the quality of participation in community-based occupations for individuals with disabilities. I\u2019ve learned so much about the complexity of this issue through getting to participate in community engagement event organization, interviewing individuals with disabilities to assess the current need for a project like ARB, taxonomy troubleshooting for <\/span>AccessTools<\/span>, <\/span>AccessTools<\/span>, <\/span>MiniTools,<\/span> and <\/span>AccessPlace<\/span> app testing, and even co-writing a manuscript examining the user perspectives and validity of <\/span>AccessTools<\/span>.” –<\/strong> Stephanie Tkaczyk, UWM MSOT Graduate<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n“The staff has also been great to work with, as someone who started with no research experience, they made me feel <\/span>welcomed<\/span> and helped me gain new skills. Thankful to be a part<\/span> of this great team!\u201d – Kaylee Schweitzer, UWM MSOT Student<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\u201cWorking in the R2D2 center has been a great experience as an MSOT student. This center brings context to many of the topics we discuss in our classes; from accessibility to assistive technology, to research methods, these concepts and more are conceptualized and brought to life through our work and research.” – Emily Olejniczak, UWM MSOT Student<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n“I worked at R2D2 for several semesters\u00a0during graduate school while completing my thesis with Dr Smith as my major advisor. I had the opportunity to participate in research studies and projects and assist with grant proposals. I saw how much hard work and dedication it took to get an idea on paper and then make it a reality. I learned the importance of teamwork. I witnessed Dr Smith’s leadership and the time and energy he poured into every project. I can certainly say my time at R2D2 not only improved my knowledge of research but also sparked my passion for\u00a0program development.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I have now established an acute care occupational therapy fellowship, one of five approved programs in the country. My time at R2D2 gave me the confidence and skills to build the program and serve as a mentor to OT’s and other colleagues.”
