I am an occupational therapist by trade. I am also a 2 timer on the TEDx stage. I have shared your talk with my colleagues. We as occupational therapy practitioners can be part of the solution. After all, we can help the people you described, especially folks with physical and mental disabilities. Moreover, by our holistic approach, we can definitely produce data to prove our value.
