Seven years ago, I realized that very few people were talking about Occupational Therapy online, so I started a blog. I have enjoyed writing about OT, and some personal stories over the many years of having this platform, however, this will be my final blog. Writing and posting on this blog has reminded me of all the things that OTs know, and the great work we do. I believe the public is slowly catching up to this, and one day OT will be not only be known, but even reques...ted, and recognized as a profession that helps others to live better. As I sign off, I encourage our readers to continue to follow Solutions For Living by Entwistle Power Occupational Therapy and FunctionAbility Rehabilitation Services online as they forge ahead and continue to be Ontarios leader in private rehabilitation. https://www.solutionsforliving.ca/2020/07/the-next-chapter/ #occupationaltherapy #OT365

It has only been in the last few years that the concept of attractive is changing. Models are increasingly featured in many different shapes, sizes, ethnicities and some campaigns (thank you Dove) are about natural beauty. But despite this small move in the direction of selling with images of various types of people presented as real, there is one more similarity in advertising that we often overlook. The models are able-bodied, or to use a totally arbitrary term, th...ey would be considered normal. https://www.solutionsforliving.ca//breaking-the-stigma-se/ #sexuality #disability
