Episode Synopsis "Stephanie Margolies Reflection 3 - What I learned from the History of OT Presentations"
In this episode I talk about some interesting things that I learned about Dr. Anna Jean Ayres and her discovery of sensory integration. I also reflect on my classmates presentation. Hope you enjoy!
