October is OT Month!

Help us Celebrate Occupational Therapy (OT) month in October! Watch this clever and fun video produced by the 2013 Graduating Class of the UBC Masters in Occupational Therapy  program! With well over 100 000 views on You Tube, this short video depicts just some of the ways OT can assist clients.

Kudos to the students winning top prize for this video at the OT Spirit Challenge this year!
