Rebecca Dawson is the Seating Coordinator and Team Lead of the Glenrose Seating Service in Edmonton. Rebecca and the Glenrose Seating Service serve clients with very complex medical and physical conditions in Northern Alberta and the Northern Territories of Canada through assessment for and provision of customized seating products. Rebecca is also the older sister of a lady named Holly who has Rett Syndrome. Holly greatly influenced Rebecca’s personal and professional journey as Rebecca became an Occupational Therapist twenty-plus years ago, and continues to do so even now. Rebecca hopes that by telling her story, she will help all of us to remember why we are doing the work that we do for others.
