Role of OTPs in disaster response

I want to give a big shout-out to the OT practitioners who give hope as part of their treatment. It makes a huge difference.

Occupational therapists have the privilege of helping people learn or relearn how to connect with their environment, and we get to have fun while we do it.

I have already found the profession of occupational therapy to be fascinating, rewarding, and challenging, and filled with countless opportunities to serve one’s community, one’s country, and one’s world.

I like to think of occupational therapists as puzzle solvers because they assist clients in solving how to complete tasks that they may or may not have been able to do in the past.
