KEYNOTE ADDRESS: Moving Occupational Therapy Forward with 2020 Vision! If You're Not at the Table, You're on the Menu

Sunday, August 23 7:00-8 pm (CST)

KICKOFF Event

To continue with forward momentum to strengthen the profession of occupational therapy, to ensure that occupational therapy is recognized and included in policy, and to ensure access to occupational therapy services to consumers, there must be advocacy. What does “Advocacy” look like? Advocacy is achieved through a multifaceted approach. Occupational therapy practitioners and consumers who participate in legislative action, vote, and communicate with senators and representatives are an important “grassroots” effort to advocate for occupational therapy. The American Occupational Therapy Political Action Committee (AOTPAC) is the political action arm of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) and is the only legal means for an organization like AOTA to raise and disburse funds to candidates for public office. Fundraising through contributions from members is essential to support lobbying efforts. In an ever-changing political climate where health care is a hot topic, occupational therapy must have a strong presence and voice to influence the over 500 US Representatives, Senators, and countless number of committees. If this voice is not present, then inclusion and funding for occupational therapy is in jeopardy. This presentation will also include current information regarding fundraising efforts and policy that is being discussed.
Presented by: Dawn Sonnier, OTR/L

The Role of Occupational Therapy Practitioners in the Human Trafficking Crisis

Thursday, August 27 6-7:30 pm (CST)

Human trafficking has emerged as a rapidly growing crime, an occupational injustice, and a human rights violation that transcends all regional and international borders. Survivors of human trafficking consistently demonstrate pervasive physical, cognitive, and psychological deficits, challenging their health, their ability to heal from trauma, and their societal integration. The United Nations developed the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons (3P Protocol) as a guide for national governments, private agencies, and individuals in their efforts to enact standards, laws, and programs for action, including occupational therapy efforts. This presentation equips practitioners with knowledge and tools to support the role of occupational therapy in combating human trafficking.
