Q: What keeps you active in ARHP?
A: I really enjoy working with the occupational therapists and health professionals from other disciplines as well as the rheumatologists. I think this gives me a broader perspective. It was especially important for networking, as I meet other health professionals with expertise with scleroderma that I cannot get from my own professional association. Not too many occupational therapists work with people with scleroderma.
