Will and all, I'm a part time worker for a successful technology company that was founded by an OT. Besides OT, the founder also had a background in software engineering, mostly web programming such as yourself. He started the company by producing computer-based health education for consumers and computer-based productivity tools for clinics/hospitals and for research. The success of the company came from his ability to incorporate his background as an OT with his technology skills. This is how he sold himself and the company to potential contractees. For example, one of our early contracts was with Fisher Price to produce a parenting tool. They went with us because we were able to sell ourselves as being knowledgeable about child development as OTs AND had the technology know-how to create a product that would be useful. Keep in mind that most technology companies are staffed with IT people that have no other skills so you can greatly capitalize on this fact if you play your cards right.
I guess what I'm saying is that our company started by thinking a little differently. Instead of thinking about "IT areas within OT", we were thinking about "OT areas within IT".
