Karen Jacobs, EdD, OTR/L, CPE, FAOTA, is a clinical professor of occupational therapy and the program director of the distance education post-professional occupational therapy programs at Boston University. She has expertise in the development and instruction of on-line graduate courses. In addition to being an occupational therapist, Jacobs is also a certified professional ergonomist (CPE). She has a private practice in ergonomics.  Jacobs earned her BA at Washington University in St. Louis, her MS at Boston University, and her doctoral degree at the University of Massachusetts.  Her research examines the interface between the environment and human capabilities. In particular, she examines the individual factors and environmental demands associated with increased risk of functional limitations among populations of university and middle school–aged students, particularly in notebook computing, backpack use, and games such as WiiFit. Most recently, she is co-developing, with Dr. Nancy Baker at the University of Pittsburgh, the Telerehabilitation Computer Ergonomics System (tele-CES) for computer users with arthritis. The tele-CES is a remote systematic ergonomics program aimed a substantially reducing work disability among workers with any type of arthritis.  Jacobs is the founding editor-in-chief of the international, interdisciplinary peer reviewed journal WORK: A Journal of Prevention, Assessment and Rehabilitation, which celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2010.  She is a past president and vice-president of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) as well as a 2005 recipient of a Fulbright Scholarship to the University of Akureyri in Akureyri, Iceland; the 2009 recipient of the Award of Merit from the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists (CAOT); and recipient of the Award of Merit from the American Occupational Therapy Association in 2003.

Loved listening to this episode! Karen I didn't know you were a crafter. For a while I also had booths at craft shows selling items that I made from recycled sweaters. My business name was SweaterTherapy. I loved it!

Stephanie thank you for bringing us these great personal stories from our fellow practitioners. I'm inspired!

This may be a busy week for you and you might be dealing with a lot of stresses, but all of these are blessings! Despite everything, you should still be thankful because these meetings will bring fruitful schedules and commitments on you. You are about to deal with people who work in Eriboll Harbour Project, that should make you even more excited! If I were in your position, I would love to cram and all!
