This virtual meeting will conclude the winter session of the DEIJAB book club. All are welcome to come and participate as we dig into the details surrounding what it means to bring antiracist practice into your delivery of OT services. \nRegister below!\n  \nBook Summary: \nAntiracist Occupational Therapy: Unsettling the Status Quo\n\nThis book challenges occupational therapy practitioners\, students\, and educators to rethink the role of race\, power\, and systemic inequities within the profession. Throughout the chapters\, it makes a case that OT is not neutral and has historically been shaped by Eurocentric perspectives that can unintentionally reinforce racial injustice. \nThe early chapters introduce race as a social construct and explain how racism (structural\, institutional\, and interpersonal) continues to shape health outcomes and access to meaningful occupations. The book emphasizes that disparities are not due to individual differences but the result of deeply rooted systems of oppression tied to colonialism\, slavery\, and ongoing power imbalances. \nA key focus is on whiteness and privilege\, encouraging practitioners to critically reflect on how dominant norms influence education\, practice\, and knowledge in OT. The authors highlight the importance of occupational justice\, showing how racism limits participation in everyday life and calling for a shift toward addressing systemic barriers\, not just individual needs. \nThrough lived experiences and narratives\, the book centers the voices of marginalized communities\, demonstrating how racism is experienced daily and impacts health\, identity\, and opportunity. It also calls for the decolonization of occupational therapy\, urging the profession to move beyond Western frameworks and embrace diverse\, global perspectives. \nLater chapters focus on action and accountability. The concept of antiracist allyship is presented as an ongoing\, active\, and collective process. Practitioners are encouraged to move beyond awareness into meaningful action by: \n\nBuilding authentic relationships with communities\nContinuously educating themselves\nNaming and addressing systemic racism\nReflecting critically on their own biases and roles\nTaking responsibility within their sphere of influence\n\nThe final chapter looks ahead\, emphasizing that real change must be embedded in policies\, education\, leadership\, and everyday practice. It highlights global perspectives and reinforces that neutrality is not enough. To create equitable systems\, OTPs must actively engage in antiracist work. \n\n  \nAuthor bio: \nMusharrat is a co-founder of the BAMEOTUK Network\, a campaign and pressure group of Black Asian and Minoritised Ethnicities (B.A.M.E.) students\, staff and educators\, to promote equity and justice from the occupational therapy profession\, professional body and in education\, and the profession in the UK. She has been on local\, national\, and international events discussing why we need decolonising of occupational therapy and science. Her completed PhD is on the topic of service improvement and occupational therapy and she is a history maker in the profession as sole editor of ‘Antiracist Occupational Therapy: Unsettling the status quo’ a book topic not raised in the profession’s literature. \n  \nHosted by the OOTA DEIJAB Book Club \n\n\n \n \n REGISTRATION: Antiracist Occupational Therapy – Author meet & greet with Musharrat Ahmed-Landeryou\n \n \n X/TwitterThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Name(Required)\n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n \n Email(Required)\n \n Enter Email\n \n \n \n Confirm Email\n \n \n \n Phone(Required)Are you an OOTA member\, or a student?(Required)\n \n \n Yes\, I am an OOTA member\n \n \n \n No\, I am not an OOTA member\n \n \n \n I don't know if I'm a member or not\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Δ URL:https://www.oota.org/event/antiracist-occupational-therapy-author-meet-greet-with-musharrat-ahmed-landeryou/ CATEGORIES:continuing ed ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.oota.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/61V9ZeuoruL._AC_UF10001000_QL80_.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260319T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260319T203000 DTSTAMP:20260429T073118 CREATED:20260115T213901Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260115T213901Z UID:9389-1773946800-1773952200@www.oota.org SUMMARY:Occupational Therapy Outdoors: Connecting\, Growing\, and Thriving in Nature DESCRIPTION:Presented By: Lindsey Stamper\, MS\, OTR/L\, RYT-200 and Kylee Wieging\, OT/S\n7:00 – 8:30pm | 1.5 Contact Hours \nThis presentation will discuss the benefits of utilizing nature connection in the therapy process with a primary focus on pediatric populations.

What do OTPs do best- fit the environment to the person to be independent! The baby boom generation has many choices as this large population of potential clients for remodelers\, builders\, contractors and occupational therapists considers where to live – but overwhelmingly\, seniors would prefer to stay in their own homes. Make your clients’ homes more “visitable.” Even if the home owners don’t think they need additional task lighting\, grab bars\, and other home modifications for their own use\, their family members and visitors might. CAPS and OTPs together help you help your clients make the right choices. Aging-in-place means living in your home safely\, independently and comfortably\, regardless of age or ability level. It addresses the need to remodel existing homes and design new homes\, so that people can age in place and not have to move to assisted-living facilities as they age. The economics of aging-in-place modifications are a no-brainer. In addition to the economics\, consider the psychological impact of being uprooted from your community\, familiar rituals\, independence and privacy.. \nRegister Here URL:https://www.oota.org/event/live-webinar-home-fit/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:continuing ed,home health,Live Webinar,older adults,Virtual ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.oota.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/pexels-jsme-mila-523821574-29372719-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250508T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250508T191500 DTSTAMP:20260429T073119 CREATED:20250409T072135Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250409T072204Z UID:5298-1746727200-1746731700@www.oota.org SUMMARY:IN-PERSON CE Event: What I Wish I Knew Then: Functional Neurological Disorder in Occupational Therapy DESCRIPTION:IN-PERSON CE Event – May 8\, 2025 \nPresented by: Kelly Neal\, OTD\, OTR/L\, BCPR\, c/NDT\, CBIS\n1.25 Contact Hour  \nLocation: Cincinnati Rehabilitation Hospital\, 4291 Parkview Dr\, Blue Ash\, OH 45242 \nThis course will include a complimentary dinner while learning about functional neurological disorder\, a common disorder seen in inpatient rehabilitation. \nRegister Here URL:https://www.oota.org/event/in-person-ce-event-what-i-wish-i-knew-then-functional-neurological-disorder-in-occupational-therapy/ LOCATION:Cincinnati Rehabilitation Hospital\, 4291 Parkview Dr\, Blue Ash\, OH\, 45242\, United States CATEGORIES:continuing ed,In-person ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.oota.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/5825-scaled-e1744181218992.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250501T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250501T203000 DTSTAMP:20260429T073119 CREATED:20250414T192705Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250414T192705Z UID:5629-1746126000-1746131400@www.oota.org SUMMARY:Live Webinar - Handwriting in the 21st Century: What Does the Evidence Say?
