Occupational Therapists (OTs) and Occupational Therapy Assistants (COTAs) are specially trained and licensed clinicians who treat in a wide variety of healthcare settings ranging from pediatrics to geriatrics.<\/p>\n

OTs and COTAs are able to help improve Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) such as bathing, grooming, and dressing. They also focus on the strengthening, endurance and range of motion of the upper body extremities and the usage of adaptive equipment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>

Occupational therapy evolved into the program we know and benefit from today in the early 1900s. In these days, it was considered a female only occupation.<\/p>\n

In 1917, a group of three men and three women voted to create the National Occupational Therapy Association. This happened just three years prior to women being permitted to vote!<\/p>\n

Occupational therapists played a pivotal role in the rehabilitation of U.S. soldiers returning from WWI. The U.S. military referred to therapists working with wooded WWI soldiers as reconstructive aides.<\/p>\n

Eleanor Clarke Slagle is a founding member of the National Occupational Therapy Association and is known as the \u201cmother of Occupational Therapy\u201d due to her tireless work in patient care and in advocating for the profession. She was president of the AOTA from 1919-1920.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
