Linda S. Fazio, PhD, OTR/L, LPC, FAOTA was born and lived
her early life on a wheat and dairy farm in Southeast Kansas, where
she attended a one-room school as the only student in her grade for
8 years. From there, she went to a small rural high school, and
then received a scholarship to Ottawa University, Ottawa, Kansas,
to study poetry and art, then to the University of Kansas in
Lawrence, Kansas as an art and craft major. Her path then led to
occupational therapy. She received her Bachelor’s Degree in
Occupational Therapy, Psychology and Sociology in 1964 from Texas
Woman’s University in Denton, Texas. Her first employment was with
the Veteran’s Administration Medical Center in Northampton,
Massachusetts, as a psychiatric staff occupational therapist. It
was here that she started her first community-based program with a
pottery production workshop for outpatient veterans. Following her
marriage to then–psychology doctoral student Anthony Fazio, her
work moved to the Boston, Jamaica Plain, Veterans Administration
Medical Center. When her husband accepted a faculty position at the
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Dr. Fazio began employment at
Curative Workshops in Milwaukee as a home rehabilitation therapist.
At this time, she began graduate studies toward an MFA in fiber
arts and began teaching weaving and fiber art for the Shorewood
Opportunity School in Milwaukee. About this time, she realized that
her interests were swinging toward historical textile production
and she entered graduate studies in anthropology, where she
received her MS degree in Anthropology with a specialty in
Museology/Textile Conservation in 1977. Her work as an occupational
therapist moved to St. Michael’s Hospital, Milwaukee, as a
psychiatric therapist, and Coordinator of Volunteers which gave her
more flexibility as she raised her two daughters and attended
graduate studies. In 1977, she moved back to Texas Woman’s
University as an Instructor in Occupational Therapy and began
doctoral studies in Counseling, Higher Education/Medical Education,
and Administration. She received her Licensed Professional
Counselor (LPC) license and began a part-time practice in
counseling and occupational therapy with a group of Psychology
Associates. She received her PhD from the University of North Texas
in Denton in 1985. The following year, she completed Post-Doctoral
study in Sexuality and Disability at the Texas Institute of
Rehabilitation and Research in Houston; at this time, she was an
Associate Professor of Occupational Therapy at Texas Woman’s
University and Assistant Dean. In 1987, she came to the University
of Southern California in Los Angeles and began to teach and
develop a course in community program development that has
continued to the present. Her roles at USC have been full-time
teaching and administration. She has held the administrative roles
of Academic Fieldwork Coordinator, Coordinator of the Professional
and Undergraduate Programs, Assistant Chair, Director of
Post-Professional and International Students, and, most recently,
Associate Chair of Academic and Community Program Support and
Development. Dr. Fazio has previously published the first and
second editions of Developing Occupation-Centered Programs for the
Community and has co-edited two editions of Play in Occupational
Therapy With Children with Dr. Diane Parham. She has also authored
numerous chapters and articles. She has consulted widely in
occupational therapy and occupational therapy assistant program
design and curriculum development and has initiated many new
academic programs over the course of her career. She has been a
continuous member of the American Occupational Therapy Association
volunteer sector since 1978, serving as an Accreditation Evaluator,
Chair of the Commission on Education, and member of various
appointed and elected committees. She has received 43 service
awards from the American Occupational Therapy Association.
“It really goes beyond traditional workbooks in the way concepts are explained and presented. This publication is relevant in the context of trends to connect health and community interventions and the possible role of occupational therapy to facilitate meaningful occupational engagement at the level of the community.”- Susanne Murphy, Canadian Journal of Occupational Therapy
