I just linked to your video on our Chicago OT/PT/SLP blog. As someone who deals with Occupational Therapists at RehabCare I can tell you first hand they have a great quality of life and a very rewarding career. I’d encourage anyone thinking about it to seriously consider that career.

Let me know if I can answer any questions… between myself and the RehabCare staff we’re happy to be an asset.
