Impact and Innovation Award Submissions for OTRs and COTAs Open on February 1, 2022

Award recipients receive their respective award, a featured spotlight in NBCOT publications and social media, a press release to share the news, and their next certification renewal is free.

Are you an OTR or a COTA, or do you know an OTR or a COTA, who deserves recognition for their impact in the OT field or for their development of an innovative program or intervention that enhanced the quality of life for a client or client population? Then consider applying for the Impact Award or Innovation Award next year.

Since launching our awards program in 2020, we have been overwhelmed by not only the number of submissions we have received but also the creative and unique ways certificants are delivering OT services.
