    Instructions:

    1. Take a photo based on the suggested theme each day in April 2016.

    2. Share these images on social media, such as Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter.

    3. Use the hashtag #CaptureOT in your subject line so that everyone can search and browse them. Let's promote Occupational Therapy and Capture what we do every day! 

    4. Be sure to check out other people’s photos! You can see what others are posting by searching the hashtag #captureot

     

    For example: Day 1 is April 1st. The photo challenge of the day is "Paper." You can take a picture of something you have done that day or previous days that involve paper. Use #paper, #captureot, #otmonth, or #OTMonth2016 when you share on social media. Be creative and have fun with it.
