The Story Behind the Conference
Alicia Stufoso and Lisa Nye, the managing partners of Careerfull LLC, are occupational therapists who met in 2001 while working in school-based therapy. By 2011, they were living on opposite sides of the country, however, they kept in touch to discuss the rewards and challenges of providing therapy in schools and offer each other strategies and support. Alicia and Lisa were interested in networking with other school-based OTs and searched for an affordable conference that was 100% dedicated to topics related to school-based therapy, but they were unable to find one. Being young and foolish, they decided to plan one themselves. The first conference was held in 2012, and the number of attendees has grown exponentially since then, with OTs joining from as far away as Canada and Germany! Alicia and Lisa are employed as full-time school-based OTs and they plan the conference in their free time ...truly a "labor of love"... because they believe it is an important source of information and emotional support for their colleagues (and themselves!)
Alicia and Lisa are grateful for every presenter, vendor, volunteer, and attendee who has participated over the years and those who will participate in the future. It would not be successful without you!
