Aquatic Therapy University knew it was time to launch a special interest group for aquatic therapy when our OT instructor had over 700 likes on an Aquatic OT post on Instagram. Almost 80 providers attended a webinar
and the SIG was born. Join us in rejoicing that the pool is MADE for occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech, recreation and more!
And another great one! Enhancing Awareness of Aquatic-Based Occupational Therapy Services Across the Lifespan: Services Across the Lifespan

Hello! I’m so excited to be a part of this group. I’m the Director of Occupational Therapy Services at a pediatric clinic. In the last couple of years I have transitioned to working in the pool with clients. Most of the clients I work with in the water are autistic, and to see them thrive in water, receiving the sensory input that the water can provide, and making progress in their water safety, motor skills, communication, etc is so exciting! I look forward to learning from this group!
