Getting Ready for OT Month

Planning activities for OT Month



Not sure what to do for OT month? Today's blog theme is about what you can do to promote OT during October. Here are just a few suggestions to help you raise the profile of OT to your clients, colleagues, and to the public. Please share them with your colleagues and if you have others to add to the list, make sure to comment on the post or send me an email.

• Update your phone message and email signature. An idea is adding October is OT Month. Learn more about how occupational therapy helps people live life to the fullest at www.caot.ca

• Make sure your workplace knows it is OT month. Can you send a message to all of your co-workers in your organization? Does your workplace have a newsletter?-contribute an article on occupational therapy.Can you set up a display at your workplace?

• Put up your poster from the CAOT Ask for It campaign in your community (library, church, hospital, community centre, etc.)

• Use Facebook to share messages about OT month and OT. Ideas: post a link to CAOT and ask your friends to visit the site and share the post; Like the CAOT facebook page and share posts with your friends;

• Share what you are doing with the rest of the OT community! Your idea may inspire others. Take pictures of what you do and see related to OT month and send them to CAOT-BC. We will post them on the blog during the month of October.

Let's work together to make occupational therapy a household word and make a commitment to help promote occupational therapy during OT month.

Thank you!
