Celebrating Occupational Therapy
Thirty years of being an Occupational Therapist (OT) leaves me with multiple questions. First, how have I been an OT for 30 years? Wasn’t it just yesterday I was a brand new therapist starting on my journey in the therapeutic world? Second, am I ever not wearing my OT hat? Will I ever just go somewhere, and not think, “oh I could adapt that” or “I could help him or her with just a little bit of time”? Third, and probably most importantly, is there a way I could do it better? Well, I am hopeful that if I ever answer no to the third question, I will excuse myself from the profession and reflect on the memories of a wonderful career path.
