  8. Centennial Vision • By the year 2017, we envision that occupational therapy is a powerful, widely recognized, science-driven, and evidence-based profession with a globally connected and diverse workforce meeting society’s occupational needs.

  9. Centennial Vision • Powerful • Leadership role in health care delivery systems • Education as basis for power • Active in policymaking • Use of technology to provide services • Influence change to benefit society

  10. Centennial Vision • Widely recognized • Clear, compelling public image • Consumer friendly language • Widespread understanding of OT • OT identity and scope protected by law • Value of occupation to health and wellness recognized by society • Increased OT consumer demand

  11. Centennial Vision • Science-driven • Greater research capacity and productivity to develop new and more effective methods in OT practice • Science-based knowledge blended with occupation-based practice in all setting • Premier universities seek occupational scientists to engage in research

  12. Centennial Vision • Evidence-based • All OT practice areas supported by evidence • OT efficacy data widely available • All payers cover OT because of efficacy, savings, benefits, etc.

  13. Centennial Vision • Globally connected and diverse workforce • Global OT community • Increased involvement in members • AOTA is an essential tool of the profession • OT roles include: practitioners, educators, researchers, scientists, and entrepreneurs • Members reflect society’s diversity • New alliances with other professions

  14. Centennial Vision • Occupational needs • Active participation in life contributes to health because it “enables individuals to utilize their biological capacities and potential” (Wilcox, 1993).

  15. Centennial Vision • Occupational needs • That man, through the use of his hands as they are energized by mind and will, can influence the state of his own health. - Mary Reilly, 1961
