The best OT, SLP and PT accounts to follow on social media

The best specialists work constantly to learn new things and collect new ideas that can help them help patients.

Whether you’re a pediatric occupational therapist looking for a fun new way to teach handwriting skills to a six-year-old, a speech-language pathologist trying to help a patient communicate with his family, or a physical therapist looking for new exercises to build hand-eye coordination skills, there are a ton of brilliant people in your field looking to share their ideas.

Social media channels like Facebook, Twitter/X, TikTok, and Pinterest make great, convenient places to find and share new ideas for helping your patients. The question is: “which channels can I follow to find a lot of great ideas quickly?”

To save you some time and the trouble of sifting through the web, we’ve put together this list of some of the best therapists in OT, SLP, and PT that we think you might want to follow on social media.

Many of these accounts post on multiple platforms and may have their own websites, so if you don’t have, say, Pinterest, check your favorite app for them.
