How You Celebrated #OTWeek2019!

Two days into OT Week 2019 and there’s already been a flood of posts celebrating and promoting the valuable work of OTs in our communities (as clinicians, academics, researchers, managers and further abroad!). We’ve had people share their team photos, stories from their OT journey, learnings to offer, information on their practice area, and why they love OT! 

Be sure to tag your updates with #ThisIsOT to help us form a visual dictionary of OT in action. Browse the selection of inspiring and engaging posts from the OT community below:

Guys guess what.... it’s #OTweek2019 this week we will share some highlights from #occupationaltherapy sessions and explain what we do... I’m waiting for a client on my mat in this picture, sometimes we start with carpet time if we are running a prep readiness group! We do fun craft to help kids build skills for school! #thisisOT
