AOTA Advocacy Alert
Protecting School Services
AOTA is closely monitoring federal actions that could impact school occupational therapy practitioners. A reported proposal to eliminate the U.S. Department of Education raises concerns about the future of IDEA and ESSA—laws that ensure access to OT services in schools.
While no action has been taken, AOTA is advocating to protect the U.S. Department of Education & the critical role it plays in supporting students and OT practitioners. Your voice matters!
