Nevermind, just found this video which supports my initial thought, it is the fingerspelling for O and T

Coventry is fingerspelling 'CV'

Hi, I was wondering what the signs for Occupational therapy and Occupational Therapist are?

Would it be the fingerspelling for OT?

I have wanted to learn BSL for as long as I can remember, although it primarily stemmed from when I was in Brownies and we had someone come in and teach us a few basic things.

I have always wanted to learn so that I can communicate with more people, I am always looking for ways to be more accessible and inclusive.

However, I have finally decided to get on and do it as I am currently training to become and Occupational Therapist, and as I will often be working with people with disabilities, it will be a huge asset to my work to be able to communicate with patients who are deaf or hard of hearing, or other people who sign. I used to work with a boy with cerebral palsy who used makaton and I always felt awful that I struggled to communicate with him properly because I didn't speak his language.

Also on a personal side, my other half is deaf in one ear, so learning some sign together will be really helpful when we're in busy noisy environments to communicate.

Hello! My name is Alice, I live in Coventry and I'm 25 years old.
