Acknowledgements
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my advisor, Dr. Grace J. Kim, PhD, OTR/L, whose mentorship has been vital throughout my post-professional doctoral journey. Her guidance has extended far beyond the scope of this work, serving as a fundamental pillar of my continued development as an occupational therapy practitioner and educator.
I am also incredibly thankful to my content mentor, Dr. Elza Guzman, OTD, OTR/L, MPH, CEAS for her clinical insight and dedicated support during the development of this digital toolkit. Her perspective was essential in translating complex evidence and concepts into this practical clinician-focused resource.
Finally, a special thank you goes to my friend, Clarence Rowan, for her generous assistance with the technical production of the robotics videos and the design of this toolkit. Her help was instrumental in capturing the clinical utility of the Armeo®Spring Pro and Amadeo® systems while bringing the creative and visual elements of Beyond the Therapy Hour to life.
