Every year in August, the second-year Master of Science Applied students (M2) in Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy present their Masters' Research Group project. This presentation ends their final semester and is the last step prior to their final practicum.

This year, presentations began with an engaging talk by this year's Lavigne-Smee Visiting Scholar, Professor Heather Aldersey, Queen's University. She inspired the group by sharing her experience developing and implementing community-based, participatory action research projects related to formal and natural disability supports in the community, and her experiences facilitating partnerships between Queen’s University (Kingston, Ontario) and the University of Gondar in Ethiopia supporting disability inclusion at the University and in Ethiopia. The title : Navigating complexity in community development: the value of relationships.

Congratulations to those who won top prizes in this year’s presentations! 👏

Thank you to all clinical and faculty supervisors for their time, expertise and ongoing support! 🙏👏
