To us occupation refers to the everyday activities and tasks we engage in. You are right at times it is used in relation to ones paid employment, but also to associated with cooking a meal, cleaning the house ,brushing your teeth , going to a dance all of those things that keep us 'occupied', engaged and participating in life.

Hilary I hope you are still visiting - I think we have all been a bit busy and have got a little slack at posting. The course you are doing sounds interesting> Blended delivery is a challenge we are grappling with it at the moment it opens up so many possibilities, and also gives out challenges. Steering the best path in an everchanging sea of possibilities is at times mindblowing. I have to say keeping up with the technology is a challenge you learn how to do it and them you forget how you did it!. The category cloud comes with wordpress - I love Wordpress in comparison to Blogger the cloud used to be in the widgets section from memory. Jackie Just catching up on posts.

I would think the job of an occupational therapist is to restore someone back their job or profession when this is not the case.

]]> Comment on Occupational therapy and Sustainability by Warren Miller http://occupationaltherapyotago.wordpress.com/2007/10/17/occupational-therapy-and-sustainability/#comment-669 Warren Miller Tue, 29 Sep 2009 23:28:19 +0000 http://occupationaltherapyotago.wordpress.com/2007/10/17/occupational-therapy-and-sustainability/#comment-669 I feel great urgency about contributing to global sustainability. Looking at the big picture, this seems like the only thing that makes sense right now. I fear, there is no time for job retraining so the question how I, as occupational therapist, can contribute to this end is even more pressing. One thought I have is this: As a fundamental change in our "occupations" is called for, occupational therapists might contribute by teaching people concrete ways of living in a sustainable way, reducing their ecological footprint, and restoring the environment. I think, like myself, many people have a sense that they would like to do something to head of the crisis we are facing but don't know how to actualize this intention. Occupational therapists may be in the position to show how. I would like to hear from others who are concerned about this.

Thankful Dael spotted the error and yes NZAOT is a good spot to look. The other most likely place to find work on the internet is by googling 'seeknz'. Rememeber that to work in New Zealand you must be registered and so you should also visit the Occupational Therapy Board New Zealand website for the registration process. It is important to start this process before applying for work. Good luck Jackie Hi Priscilla
