Aims By exploring difficult concepts through creating digital myths, based on shared experiences, OTs may be better able to understand and interpret these concepts with reference to their own experiences. Online discussion forum will be used to determine what, if anything, has been gained from the experience from those who have actively or passively (as readers) engaged in the collaborative story.

On the day she was due to travel to OS she arrived at the train station and suddenly realised that she had misread her travel schedule (her dyslexia occasionally still caused her some problems) and that she had missed her flight. Being late on her first day would create such a bad impression, she thought, and she burst into tears.
15. Then a strange thing happened. Dorothy whirled around two or three times and rose slowly through the air up, up and away into the sky. She felt as if she were going up in a balloon and as if she were being rocked gently, like a baby in a cradle. It reminded her of the feeling she had when her occupational therapist had rocked her on a platform swing as part of her therapy.
16. She noticed three young Japanese men coming toward her. They were all dressed in colourful costumes. “Just like Hiro!” one of them exclaimed, referring to the popular television series, Heroes. “Where am I?” she asked. “Los Angeles Airport”, explained the second man.
17. Kawa-no-Kami had spent too much time in the West. He now looked more like an American comic book superhero than a Japanese River God. He had persuaded three Japanese students to abandon Western models of OT and to find their own Japanese model of OT. Their audacity had been frowned upon by their tutors and they had been sent on a Journey to the West to find the true meaning of occupation.
