State occupational therapy associations

AOTA is the national professional association of occupational therapy practitioners and students. State occupational therapy associations are separately incorporated associations that are affiliated with AOTA. State associations advance the profession at the state level through advocacy, professional development, and networking. Many AOTA members are also members of their state association.
