I hope to explore how communities form, adapt and respond to new influences and members, and how these changes influence unity and disunity within those communities. I hope to develop a richer understanding of these phenomena to better inform and facilitate community-based Occupational Therapy Practice and potentially larger social progress.<\/p>\n<h3>Affiliated Groups<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Coordinator and Faculty member for the National Association for the Practice of Anthropology \u2013 Occupational Therapy Field School (NAPA-OT)<\/li>\n<li>Consulting Therapist for the Orange County Department on Aging<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Career Goals<\/h3>\n<p>As I explore the theoretical and philosophical perspectives within Occupational Science, I have become interested in developing theory and research regarding communities, groups, and populations, especially those who are non-traditional for Occupational Therapy practitioners. This theoretical development will assist in describing and understanding how communities and groups emerge, change, and adapt over time through occupation. I hope to continue researching communities and working within community-based practice areas to support a rich and informed approach to social problems and challenges within this realm.<\/p>\n<h3>Hobbies<\/h3>\n<p>Hiking, Outdoors, Camping, Photography, Swing Dancing<\/p>\n<h3>Other Fun Facts<\/h3>\n<p>I proudly hail from the great state of West Virginia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Occupational Science Faculty Mentor: Dr. Antoine Baillaird Bondurant 2003 Education PhD, 2019, Occupational Science, UNC-Chapel Hill M.S., Occupational Therapy, Xavier University, 2013 B.A., Concentration in Human Occupation, Minor in Peace Studies, Xavier University, 2011 Credentials MOT OTR\/L Licensed Occupational Therapist in North Carolina Awards and Honors Brueggeman Fellowship, Xavier University Dorothy Day Award, Xavier University &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/ocsci\/directory\/ryan-lavalley-2-2\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about Ryan Lavalley\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3450,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"layout":"","cellInformation":"","apiCallInformation":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-3650","directory","type-directory","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","odd"],"acf":[],"_upd_display_name":["Ryan Lavalley"],"_upd_reverse_display_name":[],"_upd_last_name":[],"_upd_first_name":[],"_upd_sortorder_override":[],"_upd_sortorder":["1"],"_upd_gallery_summary":[],"_upd_no_link":[],"_upd_degree1":[],"_upd_degree2":[],"_upd_email":[],"_upd_phone":[],"_upd_address":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/ocsci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/directory\/3650","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/ocsci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/directory"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/ocsci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/directory"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/ocsci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/directory\/3650\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/ocsci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3450"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/ocsci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3650"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
