We meet on the 3rd or 4th Saturday of each month for 1.5-2 hours, from 4 -5:30 pm GMT. Each meeting is different, but sometimes we begin with a presentation, followed by an open question and answer session. Some sessions are open for collaboration and discussion among participants, sometimes with a topic to focus the discussion. You can share something you are working on or that might be helpful to others; you could present a case and ask for input about how to address a particular difficulty; you could ask a specific question, etc.

Barbara and Ann first connected via email in late 2022. It was amazing to finally meet one another in person April 4, 2025. The visit was really great and way too short!

Here we are in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA where the American OT Association was holding their annual conference. What a gift to get to meet there and share a meal!
