Hi, Ron. Thank you for the list! I joined too late, but I know you've offered a wonderful public service to the OT profession with your list and site. I'm on several OT Connections lists, but have been too busy to follow them lately. When I was reading the posts, they were pretty good--an OT practitioner would ask for advice on something, and several others would respond with good ideas.
Take care, Tanya Sent from my iPhone On Sep 13, 2010, at 4:50 PM, Chuck Willmarth <cwillma...@aota.org> wrote: > Ron, > > Sorry, I haven't been following the general discussions.
