Why are you stopping Alece when I’ve only just found this blog? Do you not think you have anything more to add- or because you’ve done it for an assignment, the need is no longer there?

Well this is quite unexpected. No option to continue reporting sporadically on national advocacy issues, pass on to another author, or anything?

As an OT student, I am aware of unique skills and services that OT practitioners could provide this population, and would personally love to see more OTs branch out into “non-traditional” areas of service delivery, such as community non-profits like Gilda’s Club.
