Welcome to My OT Wiki – the Occupational Therapy Wiki.

Our mission is ''to provide an occupational therapy wiki for the OT community and the public – free of all barriers.''

Similar to other Wikis, My OT Wiki is a public user contribution effort. 

If you have some time, we would appreciate your contributions: creating new pages, writing new content, making edits, reviewing existing content, and anything else you see fit.

Feel free to [[My OT Wiki:Topics Needing Help|contribute]] anything occupational therapy related, but we only ask that you '''do''' '''not''' post ''opinions, copyrighted works'', ''illegal'' content, ''advertisements'' to any businesses, products, services, or social media accounts, self-promotion, marketing, affiliate or referral links, practice questions from quiz banks, PDF ebooks, or online private access content.

Under ''fair use'', certain uses of copyrighted materials for purposes such as teaching, scholarship, or research are not an infringement of copyright. You may quote, paraphrase, summarize, or create derivatives of the original work. If you reference another source, be sure to '''[[My OT Wiki:Citing|cite]]''' it.

Thank you for using My OT Wiki.

=Getting Started with the VisualEditor=

* Click the ''Edit'' link (not Edit Source) or the first p''encil'' icon on mobile devices to start editing a page with the VisualEditor.
* We like to use the ''VisualEditor'' instead of the Source Editor.
*If a pop-up appears, click '''Switch to the''' '''VisualEditor.'''
*You know you are using the VisualEditor if you see a toolbar similar to Google Docs with menu buttons such as Paragraph, Cite, and Insert displayed above the text edit box.

*Enter a topic or term into the search box at any time.
*Does a topic you are looking for not exist? Create a '''new page''' and start contributing.
*Create '''links''' within the body to link pages together and to make navigation much easier for the community.
*Make good use of titles, headings, paragraph breaks, bullet points, lists, bolding, italics, and other formatting to make the content easier to read.
