CommunOT

CommunOT is a special place for AOTA members to exchange ideas, seek inspiration from others who share their passion, and build an online community. 

This is your place to ask occupational therapy questions and respond to others. The discussion forums at CommunOT are based on the Special Interest Sections, although every AOTA member can participate in any forum.
