News from Czech Republic, February 2010
In the past few years, it has happened quite a lot in the field of Occupational therapy in the Czech Republic. The number of OT´s university study programmes has increased up to the current four. There have been many changes in legislation. National conferences and other educational activities have been organized regularly. I consider as very important the restoration of a NA newsletter (in an electronic form) and two printed publications. In 2008 it was a Czech translation of the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (published by NA) and in 2009 the title "Occupational therapy" (published by Portal) authors are Jana Jelinkova - president of NA, Maria Krivosikova - former President of NA and also former delegate of COTEC and Ludmila Sajtarova - active member of the NA Committee. The last named book is an introduction to OT and well fits as a textbook for OT students, OT practicioners and other proffessionals.
