She will be speaking on the importance of the HUD-funded Home Modification Program. Jocelyn will share her experience on safety, access, and facilitating improved function in the home environment allowing older adults to “age in place.”

Occupational therapy is provided in many different settings throughout the community and includes several specialty areas like low-vision therapy, hand therapy, driving rehabilitation, and home modifications.
