Hi everyone,
I am an occupational therapist and a freelance researcher. In my research, I explore the professional issues that impact the profession of occupational therapy (OT), especially in developing countries. I have published several research papers related to OT practice in India. I thought sharing them here may help anyone who is interested in learning about the OT workforce/practice in India.
