Hello Jimmie:
I lack of responses (including my own) points to what MAY be one of OT's
biggest challenges. I perceive that there is generally a lack of
involvement in what is happening around us. Also, it appears that some are
reactive rather than proactive. Of course there are many OT's doing
everything possible to 'spread the word' and keep our profession on the
forefront but I think there are way too many who do nothing.
Ron
p.s. Thanks for the information; Keep it coming.
