Students Reaction and Learning Experience: At first we decided to conduct an occupational therapy which were related to our remotivation therapy so as to give a bridge between the 2 therapies, however, we didnt go for it because this may include many tools to used such as knives, cutter, scissor that may cause harm to the clients. We decided to teach egg sandwich making which will enable them to do as a means of livelihood when they were given the chance to go out. They were attentive and can easily follow procedures of the sandwich making. After the procedure they openly verbalize their thought to each other making a interaction between them. It seems that they are already starting to overcome depression because of group interaction. In addition, they are already open to each other and actively participating in group activities.
