Introduction:
Hello and welcome to this blog presentation. My name is Cara Tate and I am an Occupational therapy student completing the final semester of the Bachelor of Occupational Therapy Degree. This blog will provide a professional development opportunity for you the reader, my peers and potential colleagues. It will also present an aspect of my learning and which I am passionate about.
