It’s Resting WHFO Lab Day for our hybrid students! ✋ (Wrist-Hand-Finger Orthosis, for the non-OTs 😉)

Today we’re training future occupational therapists to become skilled hand therapists! A WHFO supports the wrist, hand, and fingers to prevent loss of motion and maintain proper alignment.

She met with Arizona lawmakers to advOcaTe for critical legislation supporting mental health, Medicare accessibility, school-based OT services, and telehealth.

The experience was both empowering and eye-opening, strengthening her voice as a future leader in OT advocacy.
