“One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again.” |
Cindy August, Ph.D., OT/LAssistant Professor I have been an occupational therapist since 1987 and have enjoyed many areas of occupational therapy practice. My scholarly focus has been primarily on school-based practice and the promotion of inclusive education. As such, I embrace the social model of disability and believe that a paradigm shift from traditional deficit and medical orientations of disability to a more nuanced understanding of disability as socially constructed and socially mediated will fundamentally change how our profession engages with the disability community. I also have had academic and practical focus on racial equity in educational settings and society at large. My background and experiences with anti-racism and racial equity work drives how I see myself in society and in the profession of occupational therapy and furthers my unwavering commitment to promoting equity, inclusion, and acceptance for the broad diversity of humanity.

"I feel that it is important to advocate for the occupational therapy profession. Advocating for OT protects our clients, students, practitioners, and our profession. It also keeps our practice current and evidence based so we can bring meaningful occupations to our clients and communities." |
