How To OT

About How To OT

We are an occupational therapy (OT) podcast striving to narrow the research gap and help practitioners translate research into practice as simply as possible. We are shifting perspectives in OT research and practice from what happened, to how to make good things happen. We tell stories, portray OT culture, and identify principles for practitioners to improve the health outcomes of their clients.
