Letter from the Editors – Issue 3

Dear OOTA Members, 

This third edition of the newsletter highlights the many ways, across the state, that our membership is advancing practice, education, and advocacy for occupational therapy. Each of the articles was purposefully selected to showcase the unique experiences and scopes of practice that occupational therapists hold across a variety of settings. 

The response to the first two issues was more than we could have ever asked for – and it’s all thanks to you! Your readership and willingness to share stories of impact are what makes this newsletter so special and a true reflection of our community. Every click and article contribution helps us fulfill our mission of connecting and inspiring practitioners.

Looking ahead, we are excited for our upcoming OOTA Annual Conference, centered on this year’s theme: “Strength in Unity: Transforming Challenges into Opportunities.” This conference is more than just a learning event. It is a space where our profession can come together to share knowledge, spark collaboration, and build resilience. With sessions designed to inspire and empower every stage of practice–from students eager to learn, to new practitioners finding their path, to seasoned clinicians leading the way–this conference truly offers something for everyone.

Thank you for your continued support and commitment to OOTA. 

With Meaning and Purpose,

Kelly and Nathan
