October is Occupational Therapy Month!! It is a month to promote and reflect on the work that Occupational Therapists do in the health care community. Whether it's in the school, hospital, home or community, OTs empower people to lead productive and meaningful lives by helping them achieve independence in all areas of their lives.
So this October, help spread the word about Occupational Therapy by sharing this post, telling a friend, or asking questions!
