Occupational Therapy Resources
Each step below contains useful resources - videos, website links, PDFs and audio files. The resources are beneficial for each step of the process of students developing into professional occupational therapy practitioners.
These steps follow the Occupational Therapy Practice Process (OTPP) model devised by UON researchers Carol Hills, Professor Susan Ryan, Kim Nguyen, Catherine Studdert and Paul Sijpkes in collaboration with partners Carol Mckinstry (LaTrobe University), Matthew Yau (James Cook University) and Michael Curtin (Charles Sturt University).
