Universal Design Consultant Needed
Hello fellow OT's.
I am looking for an OT with experience in universal/barrier free design to consult with a family that is remodeling their home for their daughter; they live in Ardrossan, AB. If you are that OT or if you know of anyone please contact me at amlees@shaw.ca. I can provide addition information about the family if you are interested in working with them.
Thank you,
April Monkman-Lees
Alberta Children's Hospital Feeding Clinic
I am wondering if there are any therapists who work/worked for the Alberta Children's Hospital Feeding Clinic or who know of anyone who does? I am looking for some information about the clinic from someone who has experience there. Please feel free to send me an email.
Thanks!
