Whether anything will develop from this project is unknown, but something is being done and that is a step forward. We may even learn what OT isn’t, and there is success in that result too. And awareness of OT grows as new research ideas are considered, pursued and published.

OT will be the focus of this NORD research project because of your help, and for this we are all thankful. We grow as a community.
