Welcome to the North Carolina Occupational Therapy Association,
your voice for OT in NC!
The North Carolina Occupational Therapy Association is
the professional membership organization for occupational therapists,
occupational therapy assistants and occupational therapy students
in North Carolina. NCOTA was established in 1957, and incorporated
as a non-profit membership organization in 1976. In the early 1980s,
NCOTA led the drive to regulate occupational therapy practice in
North Carolina; this effort led to licensure in 1984. NCOTA serves
as a catalyst, a resource, an advocate, and a community for occupational
therapy practitioners in North Carolina.
Our Mission The North Carolina Occupational Therapy Association is
here to promote continued, competent practice of occupational
therapy; to impact health care, legislative, and reimbursement
communities as advocates for the consumer and the profession;
and to be responsive to the needs of the membership by promoting
professional education, fostering communication, and monitoring
trends in health care and in the community that affect the
practice of occupational therapy.
