Male OTs are rare and appreciated! We first met Bill this year at the AOTA Inspire 2021 Virtual Conference. He showed up at our booth confident and ready for anything. He left a great first impression on the team and we cannot wait to find new ways to collaborate!
Bill has been an OTR for almost 9 years in California. He obtained his MA and OTD from USC. He primarily works in SNF setting, but also teaches as an adjunct at Stanbridge University. His specialties in OT are autism, social media, and TEDx. Currently, he is a member of the Volunteer Leadership Development Committee in AOTA. He is also a member of a community of practice in autism in AOTA. He has delivered 2 TEDx talks: TEDxGrandForks in 2015 and TEDxYouth@AlamitosBay in 2017.
Bill’s tip of the month
Similar to how we find out people’s gender pronouns, it is important to ask each autistic individual how they would like to be identified.
