My name is Lydia Braun and I am a third-year entry-level doctoral student at Drake University in Des Moines, IA.

I completed my doctoral capstone experience with the C.A.S.T for Kids Foundation, a non-profit foundation providing fishing events for youth with disabilities and the Center of Development Pediatric Therapies, an outpatient pediatric clinic in Cookeville, TN. It was a pleasure to work with both sites to increase the awareness regarding leisure participation in youth with disabilities.
