She is highly skilled in performing physical demands analysis, home assessments, return to work assessments and planning, for both physical and psychological. Marybeth has experience evaluating occupational performance issues (OPIs) and determining if they are related to compensable injury(s). In addition, Marybeth has significant experience working with both insurers and clients. Marybeth is committed to the ongoing training of Occupational Therapists, both as a tutor at Dalhousie University and to the OT team here at PROTx.
Marybeth’s career has taken her to many, many workplaces and communities throughout Nova Scotia where the goal is to “return to life’s tasks/occupations” one of which is work. The role of an occupational therapist is crucial because the ability to engage in work, and at life's other tasks, is an indication of health and wellness. Marybeth is passionate about her work, especially working with first responders, specifically those whose life has been affected by a psychological traumatic injury.
