Another Inspire in the books! I never take our annual OT conference for granted — I am always inspired, reflecting, and energized with new professional goals for myself.
Best yet, there’s something so special about reconnecting with colleagues who have become friends, meeting new leaders in our field, and engaging in the kind of rich conversations that push our profession forward (and, dare I say, more FUN than ever?! 👖⚽️).
From conversations about the many forms of play across the lifespan to sharing strategies for how school-based OTs with advanced training in Ayres Sensory Integration (ASI) can implement this work, even within tight budgets (like mine!), I’m leaving inspired to keep these conversations going and continue breaking down barriers.
One takeaway I’m holding onto: when we connect our work to access and participation, we move closer to a future where every child has the opportunity to succeed, regardless of ability status or zip code.
Grateful for these moments and dreaming big about what’s ahead for our field ✨
