Technology has come a long way in recent years.  Whilst face to face learning is great... there are many benefits to online learning and professional development.  As a sole trader in the private sector and as a mum; I've appreciated the convenience of doing training in my own home at a time that suits me! Online learning has also opened doors to training from around the world which is amazing!

Different countries and different states within those countries have varying standards and requirements for professional development so it is best to check with your local registration board.  For my fellow Australian colleagues; you can find the OT board registration standard for continuing professional development HERE. The Australian minimum competency standards for new graduate OTs can be found HERE and can help guide professional development goals. 


Here is a list of online learning opportunities for paediatric OTs (and some would also be suitable for parents and teachers).  Take note that some are only available at certain times of the year.  Some organisations offer a rotation of webinars and courses.  Some online opportunities are paid and some are free. Some opportunities require membership with an organisation prior to access.

Save this page so you can find it when you are looking for continuing education.  Pin it or share it with your colleagues! Definitely worth keeping as an OT reference. Yes, you are right... I always do things that I find useful myself. I love having all these opportunities listed together for my OWN reference!

Let me know what you think! Do you have any further recommendations to add to this list?
