Bio

Hi there! I am a graduate student in occupational therapy! We specialize in mental health and physical dysfunction and assist individuals with meaningful and purposeful engagement. Evaluations, assessments, and initiating treatment intervention are a few of the many things we do! 





Welcome! I am someone who prefers being truthful and honest as I do not feel pampering is beneficial. I promise, however, to always remain respectful, non-judgmental, and truly invested in your situation. This is my contract with you; the only thing I ask for is your willingness to share. You are on a path and I'd be blessed to walk a little bit of it with you.

The difference between impairment, disability, and handicap! (Quick read)

...See more In exploring Psychology of Exceptionality (First post located here) [https://www.7cups.com/forum/PersonalInterestCareerCorner_51/WritersBloggersJournalKeepers_192/PsychologyofExceptionalityWhatIsitVeryquickread_15991/], people often tend to confuse these three terms. I wish to briefly describe them for you. Impairment: Any loss or abnormality of psychological, physiological or anatomical structure or function. Disability: An inability or a reduced capacity to perform a task in a specific way. Handicap: The impact or consequence of a disability, not the condition itself. In other words, the result of the disability's severity. An impairment is the abnormality itself, and a disability is the restriction that is caused by the abnormality. A handicap is the manner in which the impairment restricts the normal functioning of an individual. [http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-difference-between-impairment-disability-and-handicap.htm] However, someone who has a disability doesn't necessarily mean they're handicapped. "Disability describes the mental or physical limitation a person has, and handicap refers to the disadvantage she experiences because of it." Any questions, feel free to post them. Thanks for reading. Next subject will come soon.
Moderator tip! (You probably already know this lol)

...See more Welcome to the new moderators! I am super excited. *fistbumps*  I am sure you all have seen the room "Mod Zone." This is where we communicate, ask questions, or request support. The private messages become too much for me. Use this (Mod Zone) when logging on/logging off as well so we can cover all the rooms. This isn't the tip. Moderator Tip -- Open Mod Zone in a separate tab on your Internet Browser. Whenever someone posts in Mod Zone, the tab will say "New Message" and it is a way to self-monitor. It is extremely pivotal that we start doing this because of the new team and the possibility of teen room opening up permanently.  I myself am included in this because I sometimes find myself not checking into the room. It's also crucial because a lot of our newer listeners come into here requiring assistance! Looking forward to working with you all. ^_^ (I, for some odd reason, forgot you could do this. @iwanttolive1992 reminded me, so I figured it'd be a nice refresher for everyone!)
Understanding what having a learning disability is like

...See more In the next few days, I will be posting a few topics pertaining to the Psychology of Exceptionality. (I will explain all this later) I would like to share this resource. Typically, as you interact with others, you'll realize a lot of people have a learning disability; many are not informed on how this actually works. I would like to share this video as it will show you hands on what it is like. It is a little lengthy, but covers many different forms of learning disabilities. The objective isn't to remember each exercise, but to see how difficult it truly is for those who have this and how teachers, parents, and the community can help Hope you enjoy! Seriously, it's a good video.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYg8sX2fv90
Tip for group moderators fighting the recent spam attacks (Must read)

...See more Yo. Y'all beautiful. Alright, now that we covered that we can focus on business. We are starting to have a huge spam issue where someone comes into the chat rooms and spam 10 messages a second. This makes it hard for moderators to hit the "Mute" button because the chat is moving so fast. It's been happening so much lately, I would assume you all have seen this.  To defeat this issue, you can "zoom out." By pressing "CTRL" and the minus symbol "-" you can "Zoom out" of your page. (Also, you can press "+" to zoom back in.) This makes the text smaller, but when the spam happens you can easily hit the mute button. It works every time. I permanently zoom out so when the spam attack happens, I can mute them within 5 seconds.  Just spreading the tactic. Thanks for reading.

Thank you Ej!!!!
I really admire Ej. Very thoughtful, sincere responses that made me realize that there is still hope for the future. Reminded me that I will one day have control over my life even though I do not right now, and I have the choice to overcome whatever it is that is breaking me apart. Thank you.
didn't expect this site to actually work. good talk
this dude is the real deal
Probably the best listener I've ever met on 7 Cups! If you have any problem of any type be sure he's the guy for you :) so glad I've talked to him. Awesomeness itself!!
He's awesomeness itself !

Willing to talk to me at a time that is convenient for me. Thanks Ej!!
Didn't judge me when most do. Thanks!
Even though he was moderating he took time to respond when he was able. He let me do all the talking and helped me see other solutions that I hadn't even thought of.
Fantastic guy!
Absolutely amazing.
Dude rocks
Great help! The response time was unbelievable -- it was as if he was only talking to me, which is unlikely. He definitely helped! Would highly recommend. Ej, thank you!
LOL funny guy! I'm sure he;s very helpful!
Ej you are just amazing!!!!
EJ is great to talk to!
EJ is a great person to talk to!
a cool bro
willing to listen, and validate firstly. he initiated the talk but let me control it and talk about what was comfortable and take it in a direction i wished. but he also seemed to provide knowledge/professionalism that wasn't too "haughty?." like he could relate. i like that he seems to be not so far from me in age group i think?
EJ is a beautiful human that was able to put my depression into a prespective that I had never seen before. I came here feeling weak and alone and left feeling stronger and empowered. Thank you so much for speaking with me.
He's professional and yet so full of compassion. He would understand your situation and try to relate to it, which is all I was looking for :) Thanks a ton!
Fantastic listener and so easy to talk to. Friendly and professional. Thank you!!
He was so helpful and he still is! He stayed there for more than 2 hours, talking to me and reassuring me. It really helped to talk to Ej. He really cares and looks for ways to help you! 💙 Thanks Ej. ~Snr101

Super duper
Good listener. He gets it! That means a lot.
He truthfully listened to what I had to say. Not only that, but he didn't spew his own opinions, he made it known that he cared for what I had to say, but urged me to think for myself. I had the answers.. I just had to find them. HelpfulEJ was incredibly professional and more helpful than I had imagined I would have found. Thank you!
You are So Draky and Drakingly Awesome, Drake, stop whining though in your songs :)
