Communications Director at AOTA. Fell in love with occupational therapy 20-plus years ago and never looked back!

It has come to our attention that some low lifes are trying to get attendees to book their hotels with them. Don't do it. You will be scammed. AOTA Housing opens on December 11th. Don't be a victim of housing pirates. #AOTA20

Nearly 600 OT practitioners convened on Capitol Hill today for #OTHillDay. Their message: OT helps clients live life to its fullest. Unable to attend today? AOTA’s Virtual Hill Week continues today through September 30. Let your voice be heard! https://t.co/L80yD9GhE8

#CokieRoberts a great reporter sadly lost had a connection to occupational therapy. Her mother, Hon. Lindy Boggs, helped OT in Congress around 1980. @AOTAInc gives a political advocacy award in Boggs’ name. Daughter and mother: Living Life to Its Fullest.

Unanimous approval of the Rush amendment, followed almost right away from unanimous approval of HR 2781! The Allied Health Workforce Diversity Act language is now part of HR 2781, which is on to the full committee for its consideration next week!

Hi #AOTA19 attendees - some of you received a spam email that was not from AOTA. #AOTA20 housing and registration will open in December 2019. Please delete these emails and don't click the links!

[Laura Collins @LauraAOTA]

Woo hoo! Go OT!!

[AOTA @AOTAInc]

Who else heard @KellyRipa say "they won in occupational therapy" when Ryan mentioned that Virginia won in OT? Happy #OTMonth!🎉
Fast forward to 9 minutes 30 seconds to hear it. https://t.co/UfVfIBbO97

Great news!

What a way to start of #SISPinSchools appreciation week!
We were just informed that Chair of the Senate HELP Committee, and one of the central architects of ESSA, has agreed to be a co-sponsor of the resolution!

@brockcookOT I didn't mean to imply that ideas and content shouldn't be shared. I was just offering one shift I'd seen over the years that may account for less live tweeting. Another possibility is the shift of many to Instagram only. #otalk2us

[Laura Collins @LauraAOTA]

@brockcookOT @OTInnovations @OccScienceBae It's not everyone, and not all the time. Just a development over the past few years as social media evolves and some presenters saw their work appear elsewhere without attribution. #otalk2us

[Laura Collins @LauraAOTA]

@brockcookOT @OTInnovations A lot of presenters ask attendees not to tweet screen shots of presentations, as these end up all over the internet. It's important to protect intellectual property. #otalk2us

[Laura Collins @LauraAOTA]

@frankaota And we're all glad she did!
