Over the years, there has developed many great OT blogs and websites with extensive information on various OT topics (e.g. pediatric therapy, geriatric therapy, hand therapy, assistive technology, hippotherapy, feeding, sensory play + more). Recently, Therapy Fun Zone created a list of many of these resources, two of which are the OT in Egypt blog and Child Development Club blog!
