Hi everyone! My name is David and I'm currently a student at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) studying Psychology and minoring in Applied Developmental Psychology. My passion is to work with children. One day, I aspire to work with pediatrics with disabilities in the future as an Occupational Therapist. I recently got accepted to the Physical/Occupational Therapy program through Therapy Abroad. This is a limited life-changing opportunity for me because this is a huge step toward my life's mission. This means that I will be working alongside many professionals in the field and learn the practices of occupational and physical therapy in a culture very different from my own. I hope to gain a cross-cultural perspective and make a positive difference in the lives of children and other individuals with my cohort.

We often take our current physical or mental abilities for granted like walking, typing keyboards, or even using a spoon to feed ourselves. Other individuals with stroke or physical and mental disabilities must learn to navigate their individual life within their realms of competency. I want to be a positive influence on these individuals' lives to incorporate the integration of every diverse individual! Please Help me Learn Occupational Therapy in Thailand!
