Hi , Interesting question you ask Ron. I believe it is not the area which is the specialist area, but the Occupational Therapist who is the specialist. I think we need to get away from thinking that specific areas of practice are special, and think of our skills and experience, our competence levels which make us specialists in whatever areas we practice in. Occupational Therapists can specialize in any area of practice. It is the therapist and their skills that make the specialist. You pushed one of my buttons Ron :o)
