Hello Donna:
I am sorry but I have difficulty understanding how
"[taking] on roles similar to what some refer to as UE PT" is good for our
profession. While it may be good for the pocketbooks of those OT practicing
like PT's, I don't understand how it's good for the profession. To
me, OT's practicing like UE PT's are hindering the profession, not expanding
it.
Ron
