To alter the situation the occupational therapist must find a new context in which the person can perform their tasks (Dunn, Brown, & McGuigan, 1994). In this aspect the occupational therapist is looking for a context in which there is a perfect balance between the client’s skills and the obstacles of the context (Dunn, Brown, & McGuigan, 1994).

Crossroads that impacted my future, shaped who I am and my character, influenced life changes, which led to a transition that will influence me and my family for generations to come. I come from…
