📢 NVOTA Advocacy at Work! 🎉

Our incredible NVOTA leaders came together to attend Congressional Representative Susie Lee's Health Forum, co-hosted with Assembly Candidate Jon Penn Junejo, advocating for our profession and the health of our communities!

The forum brought community members and healthcare leaders together to discuss critical health topics impacting Nevadans, including mental health awareness and access to care, spotlighting resources like the Mind Over Chatter mental health education initiative. Conversations like these are vital to ensuring our communities have the support and resources they need to thrive.

After 100+ interviews with occupational therapy's brightest minds, one unexpected answer kept surfacing—and it wasn't about clinical tips or research priorities.

It was about community.

In this powerful reflection, Matthew Brandenburg, OTD, OTR/L, distills seven years of conversations into a single truth: OT doesn't lack value. It lacks visibility, cohesion, and collective voice.

What if the future of occupational therapy depends less on what you do in your setting—and more on what you stand for as a profession?

This is not just another article. It's a call to align, advocate, and finally own who we are: experts in purpose and participation.

The golden nugget is ready. The question is—will we hear it?

The A&I Committee Blog is coming BACK this Friday! Enjoy this teaser from the article written by Matthew Brandenburg, OTD, OTR/L:

For the past seven years, I’ve had the privilege of sitting behind a microphone in conversation with occupational therapy practitioners, researchers, educators, and leaders across the profession. What began as a project to translate evidence into practice evolved into a living archive of ideas, tensions, and possibilities shaping occupational therapy today.

Across more than 100 interviews, one pattern emerged that reshaped how I understand our profession and view my role within it.

At the end of each episode, I asked every guest the same question:

“If you could say one thing to the occupational therapy community, what would it be?”

Want to know what folks said? Be sure to read the blog this Friday!
