Linking to blogs of interest and exchanging comments

For this blog I have posted five links that I have found particularly interesting and are relevant to Occupational Therapy practice. The topics of interest I have chosen include ABC Therapeutics, Belong - OT, Stroke Recover Blog and Wiihab- Rehabilitative Therapy using the Wii, as well as personal blogs that all relate to OT practice across time. I have communicated with these blogs to ask questions, view other peoples opinions and share my experiences.

One blog that I have had communication with is Sarah Hewerdine's blog:

Sarah, I found this blog to be of interest. I found reading through and looking at the videos of people who have experienced a stroke really fascinating and feel it has given me more of an insight in to what the two main types of strokes are and how a stroke impacts on a persons life. Do you know if there is a stroke rehabilitation unit in Dunedin?

Hi Victoria, I'm glad you liked it :). From some quick research into your question I've found that the Dunedin Hospital has an Acute Stroke Unit (ASU) which provides therapeutic intervention into those patients who have had a stroke. There are also a few elderly rest homes around Dunedin who have stroke rehabilitation in their 'areas of expertise'.
