“My hope for the students is that they'll become changemakers in society, that they will be effective practitioners helping individuals create meaningful lives. But also my hope is that the students will break down some of these social barriers that are limiting opportunities for people to engage in meaningful life experiences and have the self-determination to make the choices that they can to lead these fulfilling lives,” said GW program director, Roger Ideishi, JD, OT/L, FAOTA.
