Meet a real Occupational Therapist:
Hanna Hildenbrand
"As a teenager, I became a camp counselor with the United Cerebral Palsy organization. ... The work was physically and emotionally challenging, but I completely enjoyed the experience. The campers and their families were so appreciative of, and satisfied with, the camp experience. They taught me about how much you can achieve with motivation, perseverance, adaptability and a little support. Experiences at the UCP summer camps strongly influenced my choice of academic and professional study."
