    Final Reflection

    Social Justice
    To me, social justice is the equal opportunity that every individual has, which includes
    the right to engage in meaningful occupations and the have access to similar opportunities and
    privileges everyone else has. As a future occupational therapist, I must strive to provide everyone
    the same opportunity to receive therapy services, especially those in greatest need. As I learned
    in my social justice class fifth semester, I have the role and expectation as an occupational
    therapist to transform the lives of people who are marginalized by disability, age, socioeconomic
    status, gender, education level, etc.
    When I first entered the program, I honestly had no idea what social justice was. But
    from the very beginning of the curriculum, the faculty emphasized what social justice was and
    what role occupational therapists had within social justice. As time went on and I began
    volunteering more in the community, I started to understand the importance of advocating for
    others and for what I believe is just.
    In my second semester, I volunteered at the Paralympic Sports Basketball Tournament in
    Las Vegas, Nevada. This event raised money for the Paralympic Sports Foundation and gave
    individuals in wheelchairs the opportunity to engage in a meaningful occupation. I chose to
    participate in this event because I have a friend who is confined to a wheelchair and it was
    meaningful for me to participate in this event due to that. This event really showed me that just
    because some has a certain disability, they should still be given the same opportunities to
    participate in occupations they deem meaningful.
    Through all of my volunteer opportunities and knowledge gained throughout the
    curriculum, I was able to develop awareness of populations of different disabilities and cultures.

    As a future occupational therapist, I will continue to accept and place no judgment on an


    individual due to their unique life experiences of various backgrounds. Every individual I will
    see in the field will be unique, and they have the right to be without having to worry about being
    marginalized or oppressed due to their uniqueness.
