What is OT? Nailing Your Occupational Therapy Elevator Speech

Free Live Webinar

Occupational therapy is a valuable profession that has been serving individuals, groups and populations for over a hundred years, despite that the profession remains largely unrecognized. The literature indicates that occupational therapy practitioners have difficulty effectively explaining what OT is. This course will provide occupational therapists, occupational therapy assistants and students with a process for developing an effective explanation to answer the question: What is OT?

This professional development activity is targeted at occupational therapy assistants and occupational therapists.

This CEU course uses the following instructional methods: visual aides (ie slides), discussion board, guided note taking, and learning.

Content disclosure: This course does not exclusively focus on any specific product or service.

If you are unable to make the webinar, you will automatically be enrolled in the self-paced course 14 days from the webinar date.
