I was listening to an address by Martha Piper, who was talking about the change in communication styles. I think one of the things that occupational therapists are doing very differently is distance treatment through telehealth--using a lot of different forms of communication to move between resources and teach resources to people who access it.
I think the younger veterans you're beginning to see are also using those communication resources, and it's really important that we incorporate them into how we view the world, utilize the services, and provide services. The students I work with are tweeting on Twitter and doing all sorts of wonderful things, but more importantly they're learning to treat through those resources. There's a lot of distance treatment in this world when you're in a smaller profession.
