Therapeutic Recreation
Celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month by learning about a few individuals with disabilities in the AAPI community whose work has made an impact across advocacy, the arts, and athletics. This month’s spotlight features August Rocha, Jessica Cox, Sujeet Desai, and Marisa Hamamoto, each of whom has helped expand visibility, challenge assumptions, and demonstrate the many ways individuals with disabilities contribute to their communities and professions.
Learn more about these incredible individuals here: AAPI Heritage Month bios.
