Abstract
This zine illustrates my experience in this OTD 721 Cultural Responsiveness class, led by Dr. Kirkpatrick. The class took place in the summer of 2025. It was absolutely inspiring, and I wanted to be able to share my takeaways and learnings from my experiences in this class. Culture is so relevant to the field of occupational therapy (OT) because occupations are often shaped by culture, OT cannot be truly client-centered without respective culture. Not only did this class help me grow as a future occupational therapist practitioner, but it also helped me grow as a person. It showed me the significance of asking questions and learning others' stories. My hope for this zine is to help others discover what I've learned, and possibly be encouraged to explore their own communities and learn, as I did, through connection and experience.
Theme: cultural responsiveness
