National Occupational Therapy Month in Canada

October, the National Occupational Therapy Month in Canada, is a time to celebrate occupational therapy’s contributions to helping people live healthier, more satisfying lives. Occupational therapists will be highlighting the importance of communities that are inclusive, diverse and that promote participation from all people, regardless of age or ability. So it is time to get busy and put on your MBT shoes
