Working in International School settings

kristitroutman

I am an American OT working in the International School setting (currently in the Netherlands). I am looking to connect with other OT's working in this setting to start a group for collaboration, PD, connections, etc. We currently have a very small group of interested OTs (UK trained, Belgian trained) and are looking for others around the globe in the same type of settings. Please reply if you are interested in connecting and work within the international school system. Thank you.

Hi Kristi. I am glad to have found this, as I am looking for such a network to share experiences. I have trained in both India and Ireland, and have worked across disability settings (primarily mainstream and special schools), early intervention and in autism diagnostic clinics for 16+ years.

kristitroutman Hi - I'm really interested in connecting with others. I'm a NZ trained OT and will be starting an OT position at an international school in Thailand later in the year. This will be a new position in the school and I'm excited but freaking out as well!!

Hi Emily!
My name is Allison and I am a US trained OT as well, but during the project portion of my doctoral degree last year I led a program in Ibarra, Ecuador for the spring semester (January 2022-April 2022) at a local university. I am interested in potentially looking into other OT employment options in Ecuador, and was wondering if I might be able to talk with you a bit about your experience? My email is allison.kuyvenhoven@gmail.com, and I will go ahead and send you an email as well.

Thanks so much!
-Allison

Hi, my email is alishakhurana5@gmail.com. I am a Canadian OT and have not worked in a school based setting. I am interested in learning though, I am specifically looking for job opportunities in Europe or maybe Latin America. I don't speak any of these countries' official languages, which is a barrier I keep coming up against. Looking forward to hearing from you 🙂

Hi, how are you? My name is Candelaria, I'm from Argentina but currently living in Barcelona. I'm working on a project related to international schools, and I'm reaching out to gather some advice. I've already sent information to several schools, but perhaps someone has a closer contact or could share their experience in this area. Any help would be greatly appreciated! If you need more información about Spain or Argentina, I would be delighted to help!!!
