Pathways to Belonging

Gobika Sithamparanathan

Research Assistant

I graduated from University of Toronto with an Honours Bachelor of Science, majoring in Human Biology and Psychology. I later pursued professional training in Occupational Therapy. As an Occupational Therapist, I value enabling occupations that are meaningful to individuals. From my experience working with folks with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital, I understand the importance of belonging to this population. I joined this research team to contribute to the project as a research assistant, a young adult and a practising Occupational Therapist.
