The American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) has recently announced that a new autism resources micro-site is now available for easy access to all AOTA information, continuing education, publications, research, and consumer information. It is such a comprehensive site that you are sure to find almost anything about Autism. I am sure it will be a valuable source of information for therapists and consumers alike, and certainly much more interesting than vitamins for men.

I have received this letter from the NBCOT’s president/CEO, Mr Paul Grace.
Medicare Part B therapy caps expired on December 31, 2009 and went back into place on January 1, 2010 eliminating the exceptions process. This has come about as a result of Congressional failure to act on health reform in a timely manner.
Your help is needed NOW to force Congress to address this important issue.
It is imperative that ACTION to repeal the cap or extend the exceptions process be taken IMMEDIATELY. Extending the exceptions process will prevent the rationing of care for clients in dire need of occupational therapy services.
Contact your Congressional representatives today and urge them to take action on the Cap because thousands of Medicare beneficiaries are currently reaching the Cap. You can access the name(s) and contact information for your Congressional representative(s) by clicking here. You can also call your Members of Congress using the Capitol Switchboard at: (202) 224-3121 and tell them Congress needs to extend the therapy cap exceptions process that expired on December 31, 2009.
So before you go and read on ephedra diet pill, make sure to do your part and contribute to this worthy cause first.
Beginning February 22, 2010 NBCOT will post exam-related study questions every Monday morning on the NBCOT Facebook page.
At the time of the posting, NBCOT will not provide the correct responses. Instead, they are encouraging OT and OTA students who are preparing for the NBCOT certification exams to conduct a threaded discussion based on the item. Discussion topics can include:
• What is the correct answer?
• What is the rationale for the correct answer?
• Why are the other response options incorrect?
• What validated domain and task area does this item represent?
• Where can information about the content of the item be found?
Then every Friday morning NBCOT will post the correct responses, rationales, and references for the items posted earlier in the week.
Click here to connect with other students while engaging in this interactive study forum!
Forums like this will definitely be appreciated by all those who are preparing for the exams. I guess you do what the most that you can to get better prepared without running the risk of getting treatment for adult acne caused by all the stress.
