Building disability inclusive panel discussions: Supporting interdisciplinary conference spaces

Occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) support the health, participation, and identity of our clients. We teach and engage in advocacy to empower clients, rectify occupational injustices, and expand accessible and inclusive participation. This is done through client-centered practices: partnership with and respect for clients. But is partnership enough? Is the occupational therapy profession fully aligned with the disability community’s goals and values?
