On this weeks’ podcast we have students from the University of the Western Cape who enlighten us about the research study they conducted during the lockdown period. The study was focused on the COVID-19 pandemic and its influences on occupations and occupational dysfunction. These fourth year students speak about the importance of social participation, the impact COVID-19 had on educators roles and the influence of an animal companion during the lockdown period. Their studies were printed out in the FOCUS official newsletter of OTASA.
