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
