000 – Introducing Occupied!

For the longest time I've wanted to start a podcast. The blend of technology, creative expression and Occupational Therapy has always appealed to me greatly.

If you have any ideas about topics you would like to hear broken down and discussed OR if you would like to discuss things with me then get in contact!

002 – Occupation based Pediatrics with the Rocket OT

Simone contacted me on Reddit following the release of Occupied episode 001 saying she wrote a blog called the Rocket OT and had created a visual that "demonstrates how regulation develops and is affected depending on environment/occupation". After having a chat it was clear that Simone and myself were on similar wavelengths so how could I not have a chat with her and learn more about her occupation perspectives and her story. We delved into a tonne of topics including OT's and the drift away from occupation, professional identity, sensory modulation as well as Simone's very own Occupation based pediatric resources. I hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed having the discussion! Follow Simone's work here: https://www.facebook.com/rocketot/ Keep occupied Brock [email protected] @brockcookOT
