The Georgia Occupational Therapy Association extends our deepest condolences to all who are affected by the ongoing conflict in Israel and Gaza. We stand with first responders and healthcare professionals, including occupational therapy practitioners, who have or are experiencing trauma, mourning losses, and are supporting the healing, recovery, and resiliency of others. It is our hope to see peace in the region, the expedient release of all hostages, and for the strength, safety, and wellbeing for all.

GOTA is proud to partner with Aspire OT to offer our virtual continuing education course library. As a member benefit, most courses are free or discounted for GOTA members. Members will also receive discounted access to Aspire OT's course content. New courses are added monthly.

GOTA members have access to free and discounted CE courses (login required).

Non-members can also access GOTA's online CE courses with a course fee.

Current Initiatives

State Reciprocity

GOTA is now partnering with the Alabama, Louisiana, and Tennessee OT associations (ALOTA, LOTA, and TNOTA) to bring our states together to offer more pathways for learning, disseminating knowledge, and beyond! More exciting opportunities are ahead as our three states work together!

International Initiative

The GOTA board just approved an international membership for OTPs or identifying OT practitioners in other countries who are in need for educational opportunities, mentoring, and resources. The first country GOTA is looking at partnering with is Ukraine. Within this initiative, Ukraine Ergotherapists (Occupational Therapy practitioners in their country), will be able to attend our annual conference, workshops, other CE events, as well as have access to resources, such as Legislative Day and how they could bring this to their country! We are also considering a “buddy” partnership in which a therapy practitioner here could be partnered with a therapy practitioner there to open dialogue, conversation, and learning from each other. Anyone interested in working towards developing this initiative currently, please contact Stephanie Johnson, GOTA president directly at [email protected]

Dry Needling

A HB was introduced in 2023. Stay tuned during the 2024 session for more details on this bill.
