Shownotes

In episode 37, we talk with Becky DeClerk, an occupational therapy doctoral student and passionate transit advocate, about the intersection of healthcare, accessibility, and public transportation. We explore how OT and public transit go hand in hand in supporting independence and community participation. From sharing headphones with a jazz-loving stranger to testifying at city council meetings, Becky’s journey highlights both the systemic gaps and hopeful possibilities in Northwest Arkansas transit. Her advocacy bridges clinical insight and civic action in a way that’s deeply personal and powerfully effective.
