March 19 | 2:00 pm-3:30 pm ET
This webinar is the first session in a three-part series examining the role of occupational therapy in driving and community mobility. It provides a foundational overview of current practice, guided by the AOTA official document Driving and Community Mobility in Occupational Therapy Practice (2024). Participants will hear from an expert panel of practitioners who will outline key issues, share real‑world perspectives, and discuss practical treatment approaches. The session highlights the essential role that generalist occupational therapy practitioners play in supporting clients with the complex IADL of driving and promoting safe, independent community mobility.
Celebrate occupational therapy all year long!
Though OT Month will continue to be commemorated each April, we believe that the profession deserves year-round celebration in honor of its profound and often life-changing impact on the lives of patients, caregivers, and communities it serves.
