The Social Security Amendment Act of 1965 (P.L. 89-97) establishes Medicare and Medicaid and specifically mentions occupational therapy under extended care services and home health. AOTA charters the American Occupational Therapy Foundation (AOTF) “to advance the science of occupational therapy and to increase the public knowledge and understanding of occupational therapy.” The “Essentials of an Accredited Curriculum for Occupational Therapists” are revised to include 3 months in physical disabilities and 3 months in psychosocial issues. The Student Occupational Therapy Association meets at AOTA’s Annual Conference in Miami, “to provide a means of communication between the students of occupational therapy schools, to increase student participation in AOTA, and to promote public understanding and interest in occupational therapy.”
