Since the 1970s, April has been known as Autism Awareness Month in the United States as well as other parts of the world. The Autism Society (autismsociety) says this commemoration highlights the growing need for concern and awareness about autism. As April begins, Family Voices would like to acknowledge and honor all of the people who are working to create greater awareness of the needs of children and youth living with autism, and their special families and caregivers.

April is National Occupational Therapy Month
|
As an occupational therapist or occupational therapy assistant, you are part of a vitally important profession that helps people across the lifespan participate in the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of everyday activities. Your holistic and customized approach to evaluations, interventions, and outcomes help a child with disabilities participate in school and in social situations, assist a person recovering from injuries to regain skills, aid an older adult to stay as independent as possible, and offer the specialized support and services to people of all ages and in all circumstances that only occupational therapy can provide.
