Through partnerships with schools, the company has conducted policy reviews, delivered staff training, and developed practical tools to help educators better support students recovering from concussion. JDOT regularly collaborates with brain injury associations and concussion support groups to provide workshops, resources, and expert guidance to individuals and families navigating the complexities of concussion recovery. Their educational platform, @the.concussion.ots on Instagram, reaches a wide audience with accessible, evidence-informed strategies.

JDOT’s leadership and innovation have been recognized with prestigious honours, including the University of Toronto OT Alumni Achievement Award (2023) and the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists Award for Leadership in Occupational Therapy (2025).

JDOT is proud to be nominated for Rehabilitation Company of the Year and remains deeply committed to advancing innovative, inclusive, and impactful care for those affected by brain injury.
