OT is IT!
Educate, Remediate, Compensate!
I've recently graduated MSOT and I'm currently studying for the NBCOT. Hurray for being done with fieldwork, but omg for this juggernaut of test prep.

- Rie: [shares a link about belly dancing librarians]
- Rie: are there Morris Dancing OT/PTs?
- Me: ...
- Rie: I SAID IT, NOW IT EXISTS
- Me: OMG
- Me: I have to look... (internet, don't fail me now)
- Me: Dorset House as a School of Occupational Therapy began life as part of Dorset House, Bristol, a nursing home for the treatment of patients suffering from neurotic and psychotic disorders
- Me: For the students, clinical practice was obtained largely with Dr Casson's own patients. Therapy at this time would invariably cover such diverse activities as netball, country dancing (including the Margaret Morris dancing, usually led by the redoubtable Joy Blew Jones), theatre, gardening and picnics, alongside the more traditional crafts so often associated with OT.
- Me: omg, Rie
- Rie: AHAHAHAHAHAH

- I got a surprising number of hits. However, it turns out Margaret Morris was a person and not some subset or Morris dance styles. The top link was for an article on the Dorset House in the UK from the years of 1929 to 1939. As far as I know of OT history this is about 30 years since the creation of the field. (It really took off after WWI.)
