AOTA Wins Loan Forgiveness for Occupational Therapists
AOTA's inititative to obtain loan forgiveness for occupational therapists
through inclusion in the Higher Education Opportunity Act came to fruition
yesterday evening when the House and Senate both voted to pass the bill by wide
bi-partisan margins.
Thank you for your advocacy on this issue. AOTA worked closely with Representatives
Sestak and Price to get occupational therapy included in the bill when the House was
orginially debating the bill on the floor in February of this year. We also worked closely
with both of those offices and committee staff in the House and Senate to ensure that our
hard won victory remained in the bill.
The bill now goes to the President to be signed into law. AOTA will continue to work with
Congress and advocate for full funding and implementation of this legislative victory.
