Here's a copy of the e-mail message I sent to Mr. Brady at Parade
magazine. Please don't copy and paste it but maybe it can used as a
guide.

Thanks,

Ron

Hello Mr. Brady:

I was happy to read in the May 3rd Edition of "In Step With" about
your success in recovering from a recent stroke.  While the story is
very inspiring, there is an inaccuracy which could lead readers
astray.

In the article, you state:

"To work at Sinai, a physical therapist must have an occupational or
physical therapy degree"

This is not an accurate statement.  PT and OT are two separate and
distinct professions.  [Although, those differences are sometimes
difficult to detect]  Each profession has their own education,
credentialing and licensing programs.  In fact, it is illegal for a
PT to perform OT services and vice versa.

If possible, will you please run a correction to the error?  Many
thousands of occupational therapists and their clients will be deeply
appreciative.

Lastly, please consider proving a link to occupational therapy's
national organization, "The American Occupational Therapy
Association" at www.aota.org


Sincerely,

Ron Carson MHS, OTR/L
Occupational Therapist
