WFOT

For anything and everything related to world occupational therapy, WFOT is the place to go. The World Federation of Occupational Therapists has tons of resources about OT across the globe. I’ve been a WFOT member for years and highly suggest if you’re not one yet, that you look into it to continue to support occupational therapy around the world.

AOTA’s International Interests

The American Occupational Therapy Association has a great resource for people interested in international OT, including international fieldwork, working in the US if you’re from another country, and considerations for a a culturally sensitive practice.

The OT Hub is a fantastic platform that was created by occupational therapists and consists over 174 countries across the globe. If you’re looking for resources to to connect with practitioners, look no further.

Therapists Beyond Borders

TBB is an organization that was formed to connect therapy practitioners to communities that have expressed a need for therapy. It consists of occupational therapy practitioners, physical therapists, and speech language pathologists and strives to promote responsible and sustainable differences within the communities that it partners with.

OT 4 Lyfe is 2 Years Old!

Not only am I celebrating OT Week and World OT Day, but I am also celebrating a huge milestone for OT 4 Lyfe. I can’t believe it, but I have been podcasting for 2 years as of this week. I released a special fun episode highlighting a few of the lessons I have learned of the past 2 years in order to celebrate. Check it out to hear what I mentioned and join in the celebration.

Don’t forget about the current question of the month. Check it out here and remember to get your voicemails in. All you gotta do is call in and answer this- What are your favorite continuing education courses that you have taken and why? I will be sharing all the voicemails I get on an upcoming episode of the OT 4 Lyfe podcast.

We’re a few days in to the new 30 movement challenge #mountainclimberslikewhoa (50 mountain climbers every day for 30 days) and all the #accountabilots are crushing it. If you wanna join in all you gotta do is post a video of you doing the challenge on your Instagram story, tag me @ot.4.lyfe and use the hashtag #mountainclimberslikewhoa so we can hold each other accountable. Check out my IG stories everyday to see all the mountain climbers in action.
