This study intends to provide current and future generations of occupational therapists with a view of the history and how OT practice has evolved from its inception to current practice in North Dakota and Wyoming. Rhoda Erhardt is a well known practitioner in the state of North Dakota and has achieved many accomplishments throughout the years.
