Hi everybody. I'm an occupational therapy student and at the moment I'm studying in Milan, Italy. This kind of profession is quite new in my country and nobody knows it. When I try to explain to people what's my role, they pull my leg because our course includes activities like paint ecc. Also doctors have the same reaction. I would like to know how the situation in your countries is. Is o.t. accepted?

Hey, I am also an occupational therapist and I am relocating to Italy in September and having a terrible time finding a job! In the USA I have recruiters calling all the time and I could get a position in the snap of a finger if I wanted to. Do you know of any resources or clinics in the vento area? I would appreciate any help! :)
