April is both National Occupational Therapy Month and National Deaf History Month 🤍

In The University of Scranton Occupational Therapy Department, we recognize the profound impact that being Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing can have on an individual’s life. Children who are Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing are not always afforded the same early sensory experiences, which can lead to delays in development and participation in meaningful occupations.

Families of children born without the ability to hear also face significant challenges, including navigating complex emotions while often lacking clear education and support from healthcare providers about the impact of hearing loss.

Our students have taken meaningful steps to support the Deaf community 🤍 Last semester, our juniors adapted toys and gifted them to the NEPA Choices for Children Toddler Group to promote accessible play. This year, our graduate students are raising money to provide a service dog for the Scranton School for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children.

Many of our OT students are also enrolled in or have taken American Sign Language (ASL) to foster communication and inclusivity, and regularly sign at events including Mass and Christmas on the Commons.

As future occupational therapy practitioners, we are committed to advocating for early intervention, accessibility, and meaningful participation for all 🤟

Kathleen is promoting the profession of occupational therapy through a partnership with the Occupational Therapy Association of Ghana. Her project responds to a call by the World Federation of Occupational Therapists to increase access to occupational therapy. There is limited access to occupational therapy in Ghana. She is helping to educate high school students in underserved areas of Ghana about the profession and about how they can become occupational therapy practitioners.

🌎Her project involves advocacy, leadership, program development, and research in an international context.

Hear from Kathleen’s faculty advisor, Dr. Jenny Whittaker👇🏼

“It has been really exciting to witness Kathleen’s growth throughout the development and ex*****on of this ambitious project. She truly embodies the Jesuit ideal of being a scholar and person for and with others, ensuring that her project involves a reciprocal exchange of education and culture.”
