Happy Monday, everyone! Ever feel like explaining your job is part of your job? As an OT, that’s practically a guarantee! It seems like everywhere you go, someone asks, “So what exactly is Occupational Therapy?” It’s a question that, at times, can feel repetitive, but it’s also an opportunity—one that every OT embraces because it means educating others about the incredible impact of the profession. A fun anecdote many OTs can relate to is explaining their job at a family gathering, only to be met with, “Oh, so you help people find jobs?” It’s a moment of both humor and realization that occupational therapy is still misunderstood. But each explanation helps bridge that gap and raises awareness about the essential work OTs do. Promoting and advocating for OT is crucial because the role goes far beyond what many assume. OTs help people regain independence, adapt to life’s challenges, and participate fully in the activities that give life meaning. Whether it’s helping a child with developmental delays or assisting an adult recovering from an injury, OTs play a vital part in enhancing quality of life. Explaining what OT is—and why it matters—helps ensure that more people can access these life-changing services and highlights the critical role OTs play in healthcare and beyond. #OccupationalTherapy #OccupationalTherapist #WhyOT #OTMatters #OT #OTR #OTD #UnitedStatesOT

Quick test... does your bio on your website state the school you graduated from in the first two lines? Something like... Hi, my name is Jenny and I graduated from Grand Valley State University in 2010 with a master's degree in occupational therapy. When you start like this, you're listener is likely to feel bored or lost. You haven't given them any context or information to connect to. So I challenge you to take a minute to consider how you can switch that up a little bit. Here are some prompts to consider, ✨️As an occupational therapist, I'm passionate about... ✨️I combine my knowledge in [insert your expertise] with [another area of expertise] to help you [insert core outcome] ✨️If you're struggling with [core problem], I'm here to help you [insert outcome]. Or, if your bio is in third person... ✨️ [Your name] is an occupational therapist focused on [insert your area of expertise or passion]. Truthfully, it's common for writing your own bio to feel hard. And the more you put yourself out there as a leader, business owner, or innovator, the more important your self-introduction is. Jazz up how you introduce yourself and start adding that to conversations and your website and online profiles. Let me know in the comments if you've struggled with putting words to your self-introduction or bio. #otwebsites #otmarketing #otleadership #otmonth #slp #physicaltherapy #privatepractice

OT's have you heard of the Kawa model? For those not yet acquainted, the Kawa Model, rooted in Japanese occupational therapy philosophy, emphasises the "river" as a metaphor for life's journey.

Five Ways to Wellbeing: Connect, Be Active, Take Notice, Keep Learning, Give This adds a powerful layer to School OT strategies. How can we foster connections in the learning environment?

When we use MOHO theory to inform our therapeutic reasoning, we need to understand how occupational participation and occupational performance are viewed in MOHO theory. To do this, we need to look at MOHO’s concept of dynamic interaction. Our actions and subsequent thoughts and feelings, prior to, during and after participation is the result of the dynamic interaction of our volition, habituation and performance capacity with our environment. The interaction of these concepts can be explained through the term heterarchy. A heterarchy describes the process of change in our occupational thoughts, feelings and/or actions that occurs when our volition, habituation and performance capacity all interact with each other in a nonlinear manner (Larsen-Freeman, 2019). Through these interactions, new occupational thoughts, feelings and/or actions emerge. These, inturn lead to an occupational shift, or change in occupational performance and occupational participation. It is this process that results in our occupational performance and participation developing over our life span. It is through the concepts of heterarchy and emergence that we can generate a comprehensive and dynamic understanding of occupation. We consider what occupational tasks a person chooses to do because of how effective they feel, what they like to do, what they find valuable and meaningful to do and what opportunities or expectations that are present in their environment. #OccupationalTherapy #EnablingChange

Every small step is a giant leap, both in occupational therapy and with ourselves. We know progress is built on countless tiny victories. It’s the subtle adjustments, the incremental achievements, and the seemingly minor milestones that culminate in monumental change. As OTs, we celebrate every gesture, every attempt, every moment of courage. Because we understand that these small things are, in fact, everything.
