The exciting thing about this project is that hopefully more people will have an increased understanding of all that OT has to offer! <br /><br />@Kirsi - You bring up a very important point!! The translation of "occupation" provides ever greater challenges in conveying what it is we do! Best wishes in your studies and welcome to OT! <br /><br />@Kirsty - You are so right about being able to speak to all it is that OTs do. Like in the UK, payment for services for OT (and many other health professions) is frequently challenged in the US, so it is important that the message about our services is as consistent and encompassing as possible.

Now I've gone back into education I tend to describe it in similar terms to you but when I was in practice I probably talked more about my day to day actvities, the client groups I saw, what I did with them etc. Like you note this is so diverse that it can result in people having a limited knowledge of what OTs do in different contexts. For example if you first meet an OT working in Hand Therapy are you then aware of their role in Mental Health. <br />In the UK with the current changes to the NHS our general practitioners will have greater control of commissioning services. OTs need to focus on the bigger picture here, selling what we can do across services rather than narrowing down to client groups, conditions.<br />I hope you don't mind me linking to this post on my O day. <br />KirstyKirstyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12528345454322696726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222783262913874128.post-15071859631758932792011-04-05T12:14:26.442-07:002011-04-05T12:14:26.442-07:00I liked your text, it's so difficult to explai...I liked your text, it's so difficult to explain what OTs really do. In English word "occupation" is very good word to describe what we mean when we talk about OT but when I try to explain it in Finnish, it's much harder. We have only one word what we use when we translate "occupation" into Finnish (word is toiminta in Finnish) and it means different kinds of things to different people. People can understand that it means for example activity, action, functioning but very rare they think that it means those things what are occupations. When I explain what OTs do I use same kind of explanations that you describe above but usually it isn't short explanation. :)<br /><br />-Kirsi, 3rd. year OT-student, FinlandKirsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03570023755252214919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222783262913874128.post-42935176593835947772011-04-05T08:42:07.036-07:002011-04-05T08:42:07.036-07:00This blog can really help a lot of people.
