With the 2026 Connecticut legislative session beginning February 4, now is a critical window for occupational therapy students and practitioners to engage. Personal outreach to legislators prior to the start of session can make a real difference.

ConnOTA invites you to a virtual Legislative Action Night:

Wednesday, January 21, 2026

7:00–8:00 PM
Virtual Open House (drop in as your schedule allows)

Join us HERE!

This informal, supportive session is an opportunity to:

• Learn about ConnOTA’s 2026 legislative priorities

• Understand how and when to contact your legislators

• Discuss ways to get involved and amplify our collective voice

Our focus areas include:

• Joining the OT Licensure Compact

• Modernizing Connecticut’s Occupational Therapy Practice Act

• Addressing graduate student loan eligibility through a newly formed CT Interprofessional Healthcare Collective

You are welcome to stay for the full hour or pop in and out—whatever works for you. ConnOTA leadership will be there to support you, answer questions, and engage in conversation, regardless of your prior advocacy experience.

Additional details and the virtual link will be shared soon.
We hope you’ll join us and help shape the future of occupational therapy in Connecticut.

Warm regards,
ConnOTA Government Affairs
