To help us close out Hispanic Heritage Month, we are honored to share a special message from AOTA President Arameh Anvarizadeh, OTD, OTR/L, FAOTA.
Dr. Anvarizadeh reflects on many of the themes discussed through this year’s SOMOS OT project, including equity, accessibility, representation, and the power of storytelling. She shares AOTA’s commitment to supporting the Hispanic and Latine/x community through advocacy and leadership opportunities that help advance our profession. We are grateful for her encouragement to get involved professionally and to continue working together to build a profession that reflects and serves all communities. SOMOS OT 💙
Thank you, Dr. Anvarizadeh, for all the love and support, and helping us close out Hispanic Heritage Month!

An organization representing diverse professionals should consider whose identities "Hispanic" recognizes and whose it overlooks. The term centers Spain and the Spanish language, which can leave out Brazilians, Indigenous, and Afro-descendant communities. More inclusive language, and real action on representation in OT, would make the recognition mean more.
