"Design is a balance between form and function. It takes two." – Seesaw

This sentiment truly resonates. While function is essential for making products and home environments usable, our emotional response to design holds equal significance - especially in our field, where supporting the acceptance of equipment and adaptations we recommend for clients’ homes is central to our work.

This session will examine how functional design enables clients to participate in meaningful activities and will challenge the limitations caused by a lack of attention to design. We will also address how the current funding system can create an imbalance between function and form, ultimately affecting occupational engagement.
