Do #occupational therapy practitioners serving on interprofessional design teams for universally designed built environments influence outcomes for clients without illness, injury, and/or disability? ow.ly/JcZa50wMMUW @EmpowerAbility

I love #environmentalmodifications! It's working w/clients to participate in occupations in their homes and communities--this wk I was w/clients at home, #workplace & on the agenda today--#school! #occupationaltherapy #inclusivedesign #healthyhomes #healthycommunities
Working with my client, #childhoodbraincancer survivor, in his #work environment. He has trouble w/sequencing and his workplace gave him written task instructions that were out of order 🤦‍♀️ #occupationaltherapy #environmentalmodifications #workplaceaccommodations

Wonderful idea for #ruralcommunity design for #aginginplace! I was just speaking w/ #occupationaltherapy faculty & students from @RMC_Montana earlier this wk about the impact of lack of critical #infrastructure on OT service delivery and overall #ruralhealth. #communityhealth

I cannot ask for a better client response this week-“What you taught me helped me ground myself & stay productive” #occupationaltherapy #workplaceaccommodations focus on more than the physical #mentalhealth #anxiety #stress #burnout #environmentalmodifications #healthyworkplace
Successful start to the school year! Worked with a student with a physical #disability to setup her college dorm room & worked with a high school teacher with #hearingloss to setup her classroom! #occupationaltherapy #environmentalmodifications #school #work #PhonakRoger

Exciting new publication in @OTAnnals! It's first scoping review undertaken to determine whether #occupationaltherapy serving on interprof design teams for #universallydesigned built environ influence outcomes for clients without illness/injury/disability bit.ly/2xQd1U4
I have said for years, that it might be #walkable but that does not mean it's inclusive. Excited to see a more inclusive and equitable approach taken with the new framework for #CompleteStreets policies! tinyurl.com/y2lnk2wd #inclusivecommunitydesign #occupationaltherapy

Had a great time yesterday with the University of Delaware Occupational Therapy Club talking about my OT journey for the last 24 years and current #occupationaltherapy practice in #environmentalmodifications!
