OT Month: Top 10 Ways To Promote Occupational Therapy Online

10. Create a video (A couple of hours)
Video is a very powerful medium for promoting occupational therapy. This will be the most time intensive, but the results can be well worth the effort. Online videos are best when they are shorter than 5 minutes, have attention grabbing graphics and visuals, and tell a good story. Grab a video camera (many point and shoot cameras come with video capabilities) and start filming. Don't forget that video editing software usually allows you to put photographs and text in your video in addition to the footage you film. Remember to include a transcript or closed captioining to make your video accessible to more viewers. Once again, if you film clients or other people in a private or medical setting make sure you have their permission in writing. Upload your video to YouTube or Vimeo and share.
