Former AOTA President Florence Clark challenged all students and practitioners to create and support movements seeking to fulfill the centennial vision!

brOT accepted the challenge, and therfore our mission is:

“ To ensure the realization of the American Occupational Therapy Association’s (AOTA) centennial vision, by creating a widely recognized, diverse and powerful profession. We believe that diversity is the vehicle through which occupational therapy will reach a position of power. Our goal will be met by gaining the support of current students and professionals while promoting gender and cultural diversity throughout occupational therapy programs across the country.”
