Laraine EpsteinHello - My name is Laraine Epstein: I currently work within Occupational Therapy education and I am employed by Coventry University as a Tutor within the Admissions Team. My previous experience as an Occupational Therapist has been within Social Services working with older people, physically disabled adults and children and their families.

I have been a member of the Disability Forum since its formation in July 2004 and I have recently been elected as Chairperson. I represent the Disability Forum as a co-opted member of the MEB.

I believe the Disability Forum’s role is to support, advise and encourage Occupational Therapists, Occupational Therapy Support workers, student Occupational Therapists and those thinking about training as Occupational Therapists.
