Occupational Therapy Now (OT Now) is CAOT’s practice magazine providing occupational therapists with information to meet the challenges of their day-to-day practice. Articles encourage discussion and debate of occupational therapy issues and appeal to anyone with an interest in occupation and its impact on health: health care practitioners, consumers, policy and decision makers and members of the general public from around the world.

OT Now is published six times a year, in English and French, and is available online.
