Hi, since the AusTOMs-OT kit can be downloaded on this website at no cost, does that mean we can use it in other countries freely? Is there any copyright information? Thanks.

Yes, you can use the For AusTOMs-OT (and AusTOMs-PT and AusTOMs-SP) freely in any country. There are no restriction on its use.

Hi Caitlin,
I don’t have a German translation yet. As you know, we need to forward and then back-translate to arrive at a high quality translation and and it does take time. Please let me know if you are interested to undertake this work! Please email me to discuss further if you are interested c.unsworth@federation.edu.au , best wishes, Carolyn
