GREETINGS TO NJ OT Practitioners

Welcome to our Multicultural Page

We are happy to bring you New Jersey OT’s Multicultural page, wherein we will keep you informed with regard to the following:

* links to the various ethnic groups in OT, as well as the AOTA Multicultural chair.

* information about upcoming holidays (click here) and how OT treatment may be affected by them..(dietary restrictions, traditional activities...)

* upcoming AOTA events of interest with regard to multicultural issues

* Feedback from New Jersey OTs regarding their experiences

This will not replace the ongoing column in the newsletter, rather it will be a supplement.
