Occupational Therapists help their patients get better at the meaningful, every-day activities that occupy their time! Listen in to this interview with PhD candidate Laura Park Figueroa, a cutting edge pediatric occupational therapist who has developed a new approach that blends exposure to nature with traditional therapeutic techniques! She has founded her own practice, Outdoor Kids OT, and works daily to help her patients and their parents grow using the power of the great outdoors. We discuss her methods and the positive effects she's seen in both her patients and her fellow therapists!
