Occupational Therapy Conference

The 2008 conference was a resounding success and certainly lived up to it's theme of Inspiration - Energy - Action.

A top-quality speaking programme was presented by many excellent national and international speakers. The following presentations are now available on request from NZAOT.

Please note that the FRLA lecture presented by Carolyn Simmons Carlsson, as well as the Key Note presentations, are not available as downloads. Carolyn's FRLA lecture will be published in an upcoming issue of the New Zealand Journal of Occupational Therapy.
