GOTA Annual Conference

Each year, in an effort to allow OT’s and students to network, we try to create a unique event that allows conference participants to gather in a more informal setting. This year's conference will be no different and promises to be a great experience for all attendees with a fascinating lineup of speakers and events. Click HERE to view the 2016 conference brochure.  

In honor of many US Para-Olympians who will be attending the Rio Olympics, we will be hosting our own “Mission Possible Olympics”. This event is sure to be a hit with all who participate. There are slots for up to 8 teams of 8 people per team (64 participants), who will divide up across two team events: 

The Assistive Technology Team: 4 members per team. Rotate through various assistive technology activities (high- and low-tech items), while racing against the clock (e.g. driving a sip and puff wheel chair; using environmental controls, etc)!

The Wheelchair Rugby Team: 4 members per team. Face off against another team in an exciting and friendly 20-minute wheelchair rugby activity. 

After scores are final, winning teams will be awarded a special prize! Our teams will need all the support they can get, so you also have the option to sign up as a team cheerleader. Not into the games this year? No problem! There will be a wine and cheese reception on the balcony overlooking the city, so that you might network with your OT peers. You can RSVP for the social networking event and to sign up for your desired team when you complete the conference registration form.

This year’s conference will help you turn the seemingly impossible to POSSIBLE! Plan on joining us for great educational offerings, networking, and a lot of fun along the way. For more information, contact Tiffany Wilson: info@gaota.com.
