Going to WFOT2010 in Santiago?

The Kawa Model will flow through Chile in May 2010.

The Kawa Model will be featured as an extended full day Pre-Congress Workshop. The workshop will bring together occupational therapists from all over the world, to partner with their Latino OT colleagues, to push the boundaries of culturally responsive occupational therapy.

It is going to be a great event. If you would like to volunteer to help us lead and run this workshop, then please let Michael Iwama know. Contact details are listed in the About The Author section of this website.
