    Know anyone working as an OT in Children's Cancer?

    I am looking for contacts of other OTs working in children's cancer.  I am funded to complete a project looking at best practice in OT for children with cancer and am hoping to pick brains!  It's a great opportunity to strengthen our profession.  Any ideas of therapists to contact?  Or any great supporting research/ journal articles (lit review hasn't revealed much so far...)

    I worked 35 years ago with children in a well known cancer hospital.

    In those days we used arts & craft for diversionary activities.

    Boy, did those kids love seeing the OT strolling down the hall with their fun carts.

    Today, as a seasoned OT, I'd have different goals. but still would want the children to have fun and be glad to seem me.
