One young volunteer who helped out in activity sessions commented:
“Volunteering at SNAP has helped me to decide upon a career path in Occupational Therapy, having observed one expert OT at SNAP and speaking to parents about the significant difference an OT has made upon their child’s life. I have decided that is something I would like to become.”
