EILEEN RICHTER

I began my professional career as the sole occupational therapist at Children's Hospital in Oakland, CA in 1970. I spent 3 productive years there expanding the department from strictly in-patient recreational activities to outpatient rehabilitation and sensory integration treatment. During my time in California I assisted Vi Huerta with a conference featuring A. Jean Ayres. It was my first experience learning directly from Dr. Ayres as well as my first experience organizing a conference.
