Alita Borkar, MA, OTR/L, CPAM, FOX Rehabilitation occupational therapist, and Maryland Ambassador for the American Occupational Therapy Political Action Committee (AOTPAC) talks about the importance of advocating for the occupational therapy profession with local and state policymakers. Alita takes us through the successes she’s had in her advocacy work and gives advice to younger clinicians who may want to do the same. Do you need to know a lot about politics to advocate? Is a strong passion for occupational therapy enough to help create change? Find out these answers, as well as what Alita is doing to celebrate OT Month!
