Advocating: The Impact of a Student Voice

The purpose of Student Advocacy Videos is to provide an opportunity for students to share their voice. We are living in a world where it is common to use videos, images, and online content to explore, learn, and understand information.

We invite MiOTA members and non-members to create, watch, and share these videos to advocate for occupational therapy.

• Share with other professionals, consumers, and the community
• Share with high school students to expose them to the profession of OT
• Share with insurance providers to increase understanding of the profession and scope of practice
• Watch and get inspired to advocate 

Seven student advocacy videos have been submitted from students throughout Michigan OT/OTA programs!
