Hey there!

 

We are excited to support you and learn how you will support others in the OT Schoolhouse Collaborative Community.

OTS Collab is a place to connect with others, ask questions about school-based OT, and have conversations about everything school-based OT.

The community is only great because our members make it great. Please help us to keep OTS Collab a place where all OT practitioners feel safe, welcomed, and heard by reading and complying with our Code of Conduct. 

​

Code of Conduct

No person is perfect, no community is perfect, and no guidelines are perfect. As we grow, learn, and change together, these community guidelines must also evolve so that we can continue to make OTS Collab a safe and inclusive space that is mindful and considerate of all experiences.

 

Being a member of OTS Collab means you are committed to embracing learning, even when it’s hard. Be available to educate and learn from each other with kindness. Be open to feedback and avoid becoming defensive when things may seem challenging. Mistakes can be a powerful teaching moment when used with compassion and empathy. As a community, we’re thankful for our members embracing this process with us.
