For this tutorial we were required to source 5 blogs that related to OT practice in a chosen field. I decided to carry on with my TBI theme and used Google reader and Blogger.com to locate the blogs that are posted to the right of my main postings.
I chose the technology blog because I feel that it is important for OT's in any field to keep up to date with what is available on the market to help in the intervention or rehabilitation process. The rehabilitation and physical therapy news runs along the same lines, with up to date information on what is developing in these fields. I included two blogs from people who are sharing their stories about life with a TBI, I feel as an OT it will be important to try and understand as much as is possible what it is like for our clients and this is one way that we can gain insight into that experience. And finally there is a link to a fellow students blog, in case you waned to gain another perspective or view from an OT student. An example of comments exchanged between myself and fellow bloggers is as follows:

This is a really intriguing concept! Are there anymore Hippotherapy centers in New Zealand? If there are not, do you think that this is a valuable form of therapy that should be extended on in NZ?
Thanks Hannah
