Scully/The World Show

Dr. Jan Rowe (#1331)

Again from Birmingham, a very special interview with a remarkable personality involved with special-needs children. Dr. Jan Rowe, of the Occupational Therapy Department at the University of Alabama, has done major work in pediatrics which has contributed to promoting a more inclusive approach, bringing the special-needs population into the workplace. While the support and services for youth are showing marked improvements, transition years into adulthood and independent living are still the root of concern among parents and professionals alike. Rowe joins Bob to take a closer look at the issues and advances that define this field today, on this week's edition of The World Show. [26 minutes]
