✨ New OTAC Subcommittee Launching! ✨

The OTAC Dysautonomia Subcommittee exists to support occupational therapy practitioners through education, clinical reasoning, and collaboration related to dysautonomia, particularly POTS and its common comorbidities, across practice settings. The subcommittee aims to strengthen OT’s role in assessment, intervention, and interdisciplinary care for individuals with dysautonomia.

Curious about dysautonomia, POTS, and how to address autonomic dysfunction in everyday life and occupational performance? OTAC is launching a Dysautonomia Subcommittee, and we’d love for you to join us.

This group will be a collaborative space for learning, journal clubs, case discussions, advocacy, and peer support for OTs and OTAs across practice settings working with this patient population.

You must be an OTAC member to join the subcommittee, but all are welcome to the first introductory meeting.

🗓 First Meeting: February 19
