Welcome to the AOTA Home and Community Health Special Interest Section (HCHSIS)!
I am thrilled to lead this new outreach and service initiative for AOTA and our members. The HCHSIS standing committee comprises a dedicated group of professionals with diverse backgrounds in home and community practice, each offering unique insights and experiences that enhance our collaborative efforts. This special interest section also supports four Communities of Practice: Environmental Modification, Integrative Health, Pelvic Floor, and Mealtime Occupations. Together, we are committed to supporting YOU!
