Hi all,

I know the last month has been a lot, but my goal is to overshare with the school-based OT community. I can't promise you'll like what is happening or even what AOTA is or isn't doing, but you'll hear about everything I can possibly share.

3 things for your radar:

A new article on the Section 504 case you might have heard about: https://www.aota.org/advocacy/advocacy-news/2025/aota-protecting-section-504-of-the-rehabilitation-act

I recently had office hours, but with so much going on, I want to make myself available to answer questions or provide updates. My next office hours are scheduled for March 5th. https://www.aota.org/events/calendar/school-based-ot-policy-office-hours

If you haven't seen it yet, here's an article on all the federal executive actions that are Dept of Ed related so far. https://www.aota.org/advocacy/advocacy-news/2025/aota-supports-occupational-therapy-practitioners-in-schools

Feel free to share with folks. If anyone has questions, have them email me at asaffer[@]aota.org.

Thanks all

Thanks for your efforts to keep us informed during this stressful time, Abe. I hope you are taking care of yourself, too, since this kind of effort can be draining and the end is not yet in sight.
