What is occupational therapy? Why your OT pitch matters

"What occupies your time?" In this episode, I discuss the occupational therapy lens and how I approach my own OT pitch/elevator speech. We have come a long way in promoting our profession, but in my daily life I still encounter some confusion and lack of awareness about what we do.
