Ratings and Reviews

It was very eye opening to see what comm serv is like in rural areas and how the behind the scenes process works.

I enjoyed the practical point of view from a more seasoned OT, especially for the practical personal things that often go overlooked. I enjoyed hearing the experiences of two Comm Serves from very different settings. I watched this course 6 months down the line, and I feel that I can really relate to the challenges and their triumphs. Thank you, OTLink team! Appreciate you putting this together!

I disliked the fact that an OTASA rep was there and did the same presentation as a few months ago I liked the past comm serve perspective
Bianka Botes
The session ran a bit longer than expected. I felt the last presentations were rushed to accommodate time and were more relevant to us at this point in time, compared to the first presentation that look a large amount of the session - although some slides were still very relevant and useful.
