🚨 Urgent Call to Action for Ohio OT Practitioners & Students 🚨

Proposed federal changes could drastically reduce the number of future occupational therapists in Ohio by capping graduate student loans at $20,500/year — far below the cost of clinical doctoral programs. This would disproportionately impact diverse students, underserved communities, and worsen our workforce shortage.
