Classroom? Not today! Our first-year OTD students wrapped up Quest for Wellness at Blowing Springs Park alongside ReWild the Child of NWA: hiking, exploring, and reflecting on how nature-based experiences can support well-being across diverse lives. From sensory experiences on the trail to conversations about accessibility and adaptation, this crew brought their OT lens into the great outdoors. We love ending the semester like this!
