Plaster Cast Day

Lynne Shoffner, one of the most amazing and experienced occupational therapists at Brooks, volunteered to give all of the Project Haiti volunteers an inservice on casting with Plaster of Paris today. Most of us are trained in using fiberglass casting materials and don't have much experience in working with plaster. We have learned that in Haiti, plaster is most commonly used to cast different body parts and felt we should all be trained in this skill. What fun it was too!!!
