Occupational Therapy Sites and Blogs We Love!

When starting as an Occupational Therapist – especially in a school-based position – it can often seem overwhelming to know where and how to begin the process of accumulating useful materials for use in your occupational therapy sessions. Conversely, if you’re a seasoned Occupational Therapist, it can sometimes be challenging to break free from your usual structure and incorporate new ideas. With this in mind – we’ve done the research for you and curated this list of occupational therapy sites and blogs that we think all pediatric Occupational Therapists will find valuable.
