Ep.13: Technology Design For Belonging and Wellbeing

Hello! Nice to meet you! We’re Anna and Emily and we are two friends and occupational therapists from Canada and the USA. We spend our everyday lives working with people, figuring out ways that they can do the things they want, need, and love to do - we look at ways that people can pivot, recover and grow, how we can adapt the activity, and how our world contributes to a person’s experience with doing.
