Sometimes, participation sounds like AC/DC at full volume. 🎸
For Stretchy Tech Occupational Therapist Kate, one of her most memorable career moments involved helping someone choose and play their own music for the first time in many years.
Using eye gaze technology, the customer was able to independently select a song. The choice? 'Highway to Hell'!
It's a moment Kate says she'll never forget. It's about having choice, doing things you enjoy and being able to participate on your own terms.
As OT Week comes to a close, we're celebrating the creativity, problem-solving and passion our occupational therapists bring to their work.

ID: A blue graphic celebrating Occupational Therapy Week. A photograph shows OT, Kate, with blonde hair pulled back, wearing a dark top, looking towards a touchscreen at a display stand. The screen features eye gaze controls for lights, entertainment, blinds and a fan, with information brochures and other equipment arranged nearby. Text in a white speech bubble at the top reads: “I feel so fortunate to work with technology that can be life changing for so many people.” Text at bottom reads “Participation Matters. Occupational Therapy Week.” A small wifi symbol appears in the upper left corner.
