Everyday Advocacy Guide

AOTA created this guide to help occupational therapy practitioners bring advocacy into everyday practice. It offers practical approaches for preparing important conversations, addressing payer denials, educating colleagues, and sharing the distinct value of OT with the public. It is designed to support practitioners who want to feel confident, stay prepared, and take consistent steps that strengthen both their clients and the profession.
