History
From 1977 to 1980, MSOTA attempted to sponsor an occupational therapy practice bill at least three timesat the Mississippi state Capitol, but these bills died in committee before ever reaching the floor for a full vote. On April 26, 1988 a Mississippi Occupational Therapy Practice Act was finally signed into law. The ongoing dedication of leaders and members of MSOTA was the only reason the OT practice act became law. This practice act allowed Mississippi occupational therapists to become a licensed profession in the state of Mississippi. From 1976 to present, MSOTA has been continually committed to the advancement and safeguarding of occupational therapy in the state of Mississippi. The present day success and effectiveness of MSOTA is dependent on an active board of directors and a strong membership base. |
