WFOT Learning

WFOT offers a number of modules, publications and resources to promote ongoing professional development in occupational therapy. We aim to advance competent, ethical occupational therapy, which is inclusive, sensitive to local culture context and human rights. Our resources enrich existing areas of occupational therapy practice, research and education and guide evidence-informed, collaborative development of the profession.
