OT Week wrap up
This year, OTs around Australia celebrated the work OTs do to support all people engage in activities they find meaningful. In celebrating, the theme for 2021 was occupational therapy supports participation, inclusion and independence, whichencouraged reflection in the way OTs empower individuals within their community.
In 2021, there have been numerous challenges to the way OTs are able to work, but the value OTs have been able to provide to their communities has never been higher. This OT Week calls for an opportunity to educate, celebrate and reflect on the year and the accomplishments of OTs, whether that be with friends, family, colleagues or peers.
OTA have asked members to submit their celebrations and events for the week around Australia, from universities to hospitals, OTs have been able to participate in the festivities, virtual or otherwise.
