Stephen W. Hawking about Occupational Therapy
Published 1996. Hawking S. W. Striving for Excellence in the Presence of Disabilities. U: Zemke R., Clark F. Occupational Science. The Evolving Discipline . F.A. Davis Company, Philadelphia
„ I always had a job that is vital for self-esteem. Naturally, I was happy: The world has no room for too many scientists. Of course, most people with disabilities or not, are good insomething. Therapists in the workplace recognize and help people to take advantage of their potential. I think that people with disabilities should focus on what they can do and what they are good. I'd loved that people experienced me as scientists who is accidentally happened to have disability, and not as invalid scientists. I think I succeeded in that. Your job is to help others achieve the same“
