Being creative and proactive, Shoshanah Shear set to work to find a solution culminating in this book. The book includes ideas from the layperson, comments from fellow occupational therapists, and finally a journey through the life cycle using her own work experience. "Healing Your Life Through Activity" includes insights, challenges, creativity and a wide range of experience to illustrate the vast and wonderful profession of occupational therapy.
