What OTs and OTAs are saying about this course
I loved participating in this course to better empower OTA's in our field. Niccole has a vast variety of experience as an OTA in many areas from teaching, to direct patient care, and advocacy, it is a pleasure to learn from her.

Makes you realize your worth as an OTA

I loved that the subject was openly discussed about how OTs in general, myself included, don’t alway rise to the occasion to educate staff and patients of our really cool perspective of treatment. The “just” discussion resonated with me. Good to talk about it.
