Occupational Therapy History Matters
@othistorymatters.bsky.social
Spent three years (July 2021-July 2024) ranting and raving about electic mix of #OccupationalTherapy histories from around the world on Twitter. Now mainly editing and creating on Wikipedia.
For the 4th time in a row @theRCOT has not marked a national commemoration. Nothing today about Remembrance Sunday 2025 on Facebook or Bluesky.
Only 'over and out' to OT Week.
Please explain this pattern of ... seems to be a deliberate strategy to ignore solemn rememberance. Why?

Love the title of this new book: Woman in Health Management - global revolutionaries.
Includes a chapter about Ann Beckett: A Pioneering Irish #OccupationalTherapist, by Judith Pettigrew, Mairead Cahill and Jennifer O’Mahoney.

2/3 Wikipedia year 1. Remember what we did in the first year? Most importantly, we created an entry for Evelyn Mary Macdonald and expanded the biography of Susan Edith Tracy.

Always happy to share important information, especially when relates to children and reminds of Susan E Tracy, a remarkable founder who wrote about occupation for children in 1910.

Why do we love Wikipedia? Simple - it's all about impact!
It's a free, sustainable way to amplify 'notable' #OTHistory and #OTHistory makers.
It's countering decades of neglect and damage to our heritage.
Check out impressive impact of Nurses in Red @rcnlibraries.bsky.social project.
