The current pandemic and subsequent distancing efforts have changed service delivery to our clients in ways that impact and disrupt their normal routines. We have seen it across settings, in the way our services have changed. This episode is about the ways COVID has changed, challenged, and reimagined our practice as occupational therapists in both EI and School settings.
