When the school year ends, learning doesn't stop, and neither do the incredible people who make up the PSI team.
At PSI, our therapists, nurses, psychologists, intervention specialists, and educational professionals spend the school year helping students build the skills they need to succeed. During the summer months, many of them continue pursuing meaningful occupations that allow them to grow personally, serve their communities, and explore their passions.
As occupational therapists often remind us, an occupation is much more than a career. It includes the everyday activities that bring purpose, joy, and fulfillment to our lives.
This summer, several PSI team members are doing just that.
Inspiring Creativity through Art
For Nicole Edwards, OTR/L, summer is an opportunity to inspire young minds through creativity. She leads a children’s summer art camp in Conneaut, Ohio, where campers can explore their imagination, express themselves through art, and enjoy the fun of creating together.
It’s another example of how PSI employees continue to enrich the lives of children, both inside and outside the classroom.
Serving Her Community All Summer Long
For Lyndsay Price, OTR/L, summer is all about caring for others. She spends her time working as a part-time lifeguard at a community pool and nannying in the Cleveland area.
Whether she’s ensuring swimmers stay safe or caring for children, Lyndsay continues to make a positive impact long after the school year ends.
Creativity in Every Season
When the school year winds down, Katie Rathers, OT/L, enjoys slowing down and spending time on her passion for multimedia arts and crafts. Summer gives her the chance to recharge, express her creativity, and enjoy the meaningful activities that help bring balance to her life.
