Artifacts:
I was involved in a community based program
called The Down Syndrome Organization of
Southern Nevada Developmental Playgroup where
I collaborated with three occupational therapy
students and program director to develop semistructured play classes to promote social and
communication skills for children with Down
syndrome. Some leadership skills that I
exemplified during this program was initiating
suggestions, carrying out, and co-leading play
activities with my group members.
I was also involved in co-leading an evidenced based fall prevention program for adults and
older adults called Stepping On. This program aimed to promote aging in place and raising
awareness on fall hazards by providing resources and strategies to increase confidence
when engaging in activities at home or in the community. I collaborated with a classmate
and professor in leading the classes and delivered information to members of the community
on risk factors, provided detailed instructions on balance and strengthening exercises, and
facilitated interactive discussion groups. Through this experience, I learned that leaders
have to commit to many preparation work in order to successfully carry out the goals and to
make things appear seamless and effortless.
