Abstract

This capstone focused on the role occupational therapy can play among expectant mothers. The experience was completed at a Cleveland-based community, Zelie's Home, where women receive support as they embrace motherhood. A program manual and informational handouts were distributed with a goal of educating pregnant women on infant care techniques.
