Resources
OT Frontiers Resources
Explore our collection of resources relating to occupational therapy practice, education and development in low- and middle-income countries.
Our Resources Drive includes publications, guidance and other materials that may be useful to occupational therapists and others working across a range of settings.
We are currently reviewing and developing our resources to better reflect the knowledge, experiences and perspectives of occupational therapists working in low- and middle-income countries.
This is an ongoing, collaborative project, and we welcome suggestions for relevant resources, feedback on existing materials and contributions from anyone interested in getting involved.
We are grateful to the OT Frontiers Paediatrics and Resources Working Groups, and everyone who has contributed to developing this collection.
If you'd like to contribute or get involved, please email enquiries@otfrontiers.com.
