Biography and Expertise
Monique Dawes, OTD, OTR/L, CPAM, has over ten years of occupational therapy clinical experience. She started her career working in acute rehabilitation specializing in spinal cord injury rehabilitation before becoming a travel therapist. As a travel therapist, she has worked in a variety of practice settings including acute care, acute and subacute rehab, home health, outpatient, and community practice. She has experience working with many different adult diagnoses but primarily works with adults who have neurological conditions.
Dawes has been a volunteer for Empower SCI, a community-based rehabilitation program for people with spinal cord injuries since 2011. Every year, she has provided OT services in their 2-week residential program in New York and since 2019 also volunteered for the 1-week Montana residential program. She has filled multiple roles in the non-profit including, director of OT, director of clinical specialists, and program director. In these roles, she has helped with programmatic improvements and development, running weekend clinics for wheelchair skills and maintenance, managing student engagement, fundraising, and starting new major programs.
Throughout her clinical career, Dawes utilized her clinical expertise to educate students through fieldwork preceptorship, mentorship, and guest lectureships at various institutions. Seeing the clinical impact her holistic approach had not only on her clients but also on young clinicians, she transitioned into academia full-time. As of 2021, she joined the JWU faculty to continue her passion for educating the next generation of occupational therapy leaders.
