The American Occupational Therapy Foundation (AOTF) recently featured Dr. Heather Williamson, CHER faculty and assistant professor for the Department of Occupational Therapy, and her work as the main story in their November newsletter. The AOTF funded Dr. Williamson’s recent health equity research work in a project where she used photovoice with American Indian students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The research, titled “Exploring Health and Wellness Among Native American Adults with Intellectual and/or Developmental Disabilities and their Family Caregivers,” was published in the Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities on Aug. 22. The team of researchers on the project also included  Northern Arizona University graduates Alissa Brennan and  Samantha Tress,  Darold Joseph, an assistant professor in the NAU Department of Educational Specialties, CHER director Julie Baldwin, and Russ Randall, transition facilitator at Coconino High School.
