For occupational therapists
Community
Notes and open questions for occupational therapists in the OTAC network. This part of the site is a give-back: something to read, and a place to be recognised, alongside the directory. It is not a shop window.

Stuart Barrow
Occupational therapist and managing director
Promoting Independence Limited
Stuart Barrow is an occupational therapist and the managing director of Promoting Independence Limited, which organises the Occupational Therapy Adaptation Conference. The conference site describes more than 20 years in the occupational therapy sector, first as an occupational therapist and later as an event organiser and consultant. Promoting Independence has run the OTAC programme since the first event in Reading in 2017: free one-day conferences and exhibitions around the UK, with talks on home adaptations and a chance to see equipment. OTAC Connect is the directory beside that programme.
