NCOTA Advocacy

Advocacy is an important part of the Occupational Therapy profession, state legislative issues affect scope of practice, billing and reimbursement, employment opportunities, and what kind of impact we can have on our clients. 

Learn more about NCOTA and our advocacy efforts in the presentation below.

As an OT practitioner, you advocate on behalf of your clients every day.  NCOTA is here to advocate for you and the individuals you serve at the North Carolina General Assembly.  NCOTA monitors health policy discussions and proposed legislation at the North Carolina General Assembly during the legislative session and also during the legislative interim. 
NCOTA has a history of positive impacts through advocacy opportunities. We support our members and profession with two Legal and Political Co-Chairs and our lobbyist, Ashley Perkinson. NCOTA hosts an annual in-person leadership advocacy day in Raleigh and will host advocacy updates and educational opportunities at conference and virtually.

As a member of NCOTA, you support this important work as we protect and expand the role of occupational therapy in North Carolina. Thank you for your passion and your advocacy!
