They were supported by faculty members Kathryn Loukas, OTD, M.S., OTR/L, FAOTA, clinical professor of Occupational Therapy, and Elizabeth Crampsey , M.S., OTR/L, assistant clinical professor of Occupational Therapy.
Students volunteered for either a half or full day, and learned valuable lessons on how to facilitate joy and participation in children with Down Syndrome.
