“Working with the AIPatHome Advisory Team is an opportunity to shine a light on the wonderful work Occupational Therapists already do,” Shamberg said. “And we can expand that perception of what they do and the potential impact they can have on all aspects of aging in place for both consumers and professionals.”
Ms. Shamberg has over 30 years of experience in managing programs; working as a clinical therapist in pediatric school-based therapy, geriatric psych/physical disability rehab, nursing home, and homecare settings; and providing consulting services for elementary schools, educational institutions, businesses, community-service organizations, senior centers, and housing.
