Meet Your Host
Sarah Lyon, OTR/L

Hi, I’m Sarah!
I felt like I was spending my entire work day reinventing the wheel. And worse, I felt like I couldn’t deliver the OT care I aspired to.
I wanted to know: What new evidence is coming out? And, what are the leading OTs doing in their practices?
OT Potential has evolved over the years to answers those questions for you. We are so proud of what we’ve built and the community that has formed. I hope you join us!
But can I really earn OT CEUs by listening to a podcast?
Yes!!!
Our podcast episodes are designed to meet the requirements for “online” and “independent/self-study” continuing education courses.
For more details read our blog post: Can I earn OT CEUS from a podcast? To verify how many CEUs you need for your license, check your OT continuing education requirements. If you are outside of the United States and have questions, please contact us.
We are proud to be an AOTA Approved Provider and to meet the requirements for your NBCOT renewal. We also report course completions to CE Broker every 24 hours.
Complements In-Person and Live Courses
Our courses are all online and one hour.
But, we know some of you have in-person requirements. And, there is something special about live OT trainings. We priced the Club affordably, so you can also seek out professional development near you.
Your state OT association is a great place to start—many offer live courses and webinars!
