Often in life, less is more... Your Hub is the home of many occupational therapy tools and resources - but their functions can sometimes overlap. That's why Therapy Forum has now been discontinued. The global community continues to thrive within OT Circles - a more powerful portal, with better functionality. All previous Forum posts and categories have been transferred over; historic information-sharing and connections remain uninterrupted. Start networking in these free learning and development groups here - or on-the-go, via The OT Hub app.

"I have been working in paediatrics my entire career, focusing on sensory integration, specifically motor skills, including dyspraxia and DCD. I am intrigued by neurology and the processes involved in motor planning, integrating senses such as proprioception and vestibular - and how they affect the functions and development of children. Is anybody else working in these fields?" Reach out and connect with Marga and other OTs right here - or on-the-go, via The OT Hub app.
