Lorraine Williams Pedretti, MS, OTR, created one of the first and most highly regarded textbooks devoted to occupational therapy treatment for persons with physical disabilities, Pedretti’s Occupational Therapy: Practice Skills for Physical Dysfunction. This widely used text is a staple in many occupational therapy courses and has continually been known for its accessibility and practical application supported by current research and evidence. Pedretti also has published many articles and several other books, served on several AOTA committees and task forces, and mentored other occupational therapy practitioners.
