Stephen Hawking : The Great Minds Of This Era

Stephen Hawkings, of Hampshire, England, was one of the 102 passengers aboard the Mayflower in 1620. This, however, was not his first quest over to the New Land.

Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879, in Ulm, Württemberg, Germany. He would not remember the place he was born, as his family moved six weeks later to Munich. Albert Einstein grew up in a secular Jewish family. His father Hermann Einstein was a salesman and engineer, and with his brother founded Elektrotechnische Fabrik J. Einstein & Cie, a Munich-based company that manufactured electrical equipment. At the age of five, Einstein was given a compass by his father for his birthday. Einstein would become amazed at the unknown behind the compass and would continue this interest in why and how things worked for the rest of his childhood. Growing up, Einstein had trouble with speech and social abilities, and for hours Einstein could play by himself twiddling with anything that amused his mind. This independence made Einstein question authority, often

Occupational therapists work with clients to restore independence that has been lost or disrupted due to illness, injury, or disease. Occupational therapy practice involves assessing and determining an appropriate treatment approach based on the client’s disability and individual needs. There are various occupation-based models, each client-centered and grounded in theory, that guide the clinical treatment process. In addition, the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework: Domain and Process (3rd ed.; AOTA, 2014) denotes various frames of reference to guide therapists when choosing specific intervention strategies based on the client’s needs (Cole & Tufano, 2018). This paper focuses on the application of the Occupation Adaption model,

Steven Paul Jobs was born February 24, 1955 in San Francisco, California.
