To consider whether your lived experience of disability has impacted on your practice and the way you work with others.
To think about the impact of promoting independence within OT practice - what harm does this cause and does it reflect the communities we serve and people we are working with?
To consider if and how the emphasis on independence varies across our worldwide OT communities.
To reflect on different ways of living that emphasise community and interdependence, to consider the impact of this for disabled people.
