Hello to everyone in the blogosphere! I’ve finally mustered the courage to take my first step into this new arena. My hope is that this format will provide the opportunity to share thoughts related to the practice of school based Occupational Therapy with colleagues and any other interested individual. I have a lot to learn about how to optimize this space, but I suppose that the first step is just a short journey in the right direction.
A few resources that I have found really helpful:
www.otexchange.com is a wonderful website that allows therapists to exchange ideas and provides a resource for other professionals and parents who support children with special needs. Features include free membership, downloadable documents, message boards and a chat room, links, and pertinent news postings.
For those of you out there who are particularly interested in sensory processing disorders, you can find some great information at http://www.spdnetwork.org/aboutspd/defining.html
That’s all for now, but more to come!

Well done - I’ve done the same searching for OT’s using web2.0 technologies - but there are few of us! I see you found me on del.icio.us? I’m working on a grant application now which will see a few more OT’s in New Zealand learning how to use these technologies and posting more online!
Look out for us!
