Hey Ron, if you want something a little different, right in your community you have lots of poverty. Why is this important for OT? At the Chiles academy, up to 70% of the student body has an IEP. And most of the rest probably need it. A great example of LD and poverty relationship. These girls continue to struggle with a myriad of difficulties, parenting, schooling, community mobility, work, personal relationships, you name it. And I get to work with their children.
