Why should I become an OTAC member?

We are better together!

We also have fun together!

The advocacy and support activities of OTAC are supported by your membership dues! 

Your dues support our primary expense of advocacy and legislative efforts on behalf of occupational therapy practice in the state of Colorado. This includes the expense of our two lobbyists, Kathy Oatis, and Steve Balcerovich, who helped us in 2021 with the passage of our updated OT Practice Act and the OT Interstate Compact Act.

Exciting update! In 2022 OTAC created and helped pass House Bill 22-1068 - Medicaid Reimbursement for Therapy Using Equines -  with the help of our lobbyists and an advisory committee. This bill allows, for the first time, for Medicaid reimbursement for OT, SLP, and PT for using a horse as a therapy tool!

THANK YOU OTAC MEMBERS! YOU MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE!

Check out our past legislative successes to see examples of how membership money is invested in the OT profession of Colorado.
