Professional associations


The World Federation of Occupational Therapy was founded in 1952 and is the official international association aimed at uniting and promoting occupational therapy  around the world.



The American Association of Occupational Therapists is a national association which was established in 1917.  The AOTA regulates occupational therapy within the United States and currently has about 39,000 members. "AOTA educates the public and advances the profession by providing resources, setting standards, and serving as an advocate to improve health care" (AOTA, 2010)



The Florida Occupational Therapy Association was established in 1977 and is an educational source proving information on state regulations, continuing education and state advocacy.
