COVID-19 Update and Resources
Resource link
Amidst the continuing changes as a result of COVID-19 (coronavirus), I wanted to reach out and update everyone on the most current resources, supports, and activities. As it stands, Governor DeSantis has issued a stay-at-home order for the next 30 days. With April being Occupational Therapy month, FOTA wants to continue and support occupational therapy practitioners and establish a sense of community.
In efforts to provide occupational therapy practitioners across the state with opportunities to be informed of best practice and professional information, FOTA Connect has been launched on various social media platforms. As a member benefit, we will be hosting webinars throughout the month of April on Thursday evenings at 7:00pm. Follow us on social media and be sure to join us on these platforms:
- Facebook group: FOTA Connect
- Instagram: FOTAConnect
- Twitter: @FOTAConnect
Also, continuous updates to policies that impact occupational therapy practice are difficult to keep up with and FOTA has compiled the most current resources as of today. Please find various links below, referring to them and our website frequently for the most current information.
Please continue to be safe, practice proper precautions, and engage in self-care activities for your well-being. Continue to abide by the guidance provided by your local, state, and national leaders and practice physical distancing while remaining socially connected.
Sincerely,
Douglene Jackson, PhD, OTR/L, LMT, ATP (electronically signed)
President, Florida Occupational Therapy Association
