Occupational Therapy Month is April 1–30, 2025 #OTmonth. Each April, AOTA is a rallying force bringing occupational therapy practitioners, educators, students, and supporters together to celebrate OT Month, a commemorative campaign that is anchored in both honoring the profession and driving awareness about it. AOTA stands for the American Occupational Therapy Association, a national professional association established in 1917 that represents the interests of occupational therapy practitioners and students, aiming to improve the quality of occupational therapy services. 

Though OT Month is commemorated each April, the profession deserves year-round celebration in honor of its profound and often life-changing impact on the lives of patients, caregivers, and communities it serves. In 2025, the commemorative campaign theme is “Occupational Therapy: Inspiring Hope, Changing Lives”. It is through this campaign that AOTA educates the public about OT – what it is, why we might need it, how to ask for it, and its impact on one’s overall quality of life.
