“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.
