• Resumen

  • Communicating this new knowledge through dissemination avenues is vital for its uptake in practice, for informing future research, and to support applications for research funding. Since 1933, when the Canadian Journal of Occupational Therapy (CJOT) was first published, over 20 peer-reviewed, discipline-specific occupational therapy journals have been created, broadening our dissemination potential. Social media and networking opportunities can provide us with the capability for sharing and creating occupational therapy knowledge that can be taken up and used by occupational therapy practitioners and used to increase awareness of the importance of occupational engagement and effective occupational enablement within health care, education, social services professions, and consumer groups.
