Online Technology 4 Occupational Therapy (OT4OT) is a small international group of occupational therapy volunteers who are passionate about using online technology to advance entry level education, ongoing professional development, research, and practice. In 2010 they ran a very successful 24 hour global virtual exchange - which basically is 24 hours of free, online lectures with amazing presenters - Michael Iwama was among many others who held a presentation.

OT4OT will be hosting a similar event this year - on the 26/27th October 2011
