As the lazy days of summer end, and the fall season begins, we find ourselves looking to the future for educational experiences that relate to the field in which we practice. The Gerontology Special Interest Group will provide a forum for therapists to share ideas, education, and support within this exciting area of practice. I would like to call on all those who are interested, to indicate ‘”Gerontology” under “Area of Practice” on your ArizOTA membership renewal form. As well, there will be a sign up sheet at the annual ArizOTA Conference in September. It is my hope that we can make this a meaningful and successful interest group. Please look for updates at www.arizota.org. Sincerely, Tara Wigal-Wertsching, OTR/L. |
