Productive Aging
Productive Aging Special Interest Section (PASIS) members work with the occupational needs of older adults and relate to the full continuum of care for the aged.
PASIS provides forum for professional development
PASIS fosters professional development and clinical excellence for practitioners, educators, students, and researchers concerned with the occupational needs of older adults.
PASIS was one of the original five created by AOTA in 1977. The others were Developmental Disabilities, Mental Health, Physical Disabilities (now Rehabilitation & Disability), and Sensory Integration (now Sensory Integration & Processing).
