AOTA purchases and begins publishing OT Week, a magazine that later ceases publication in 1995. The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 (P.L. 100-203) revamps and toughens the conditions for skilled nursing and intermediate care facilities, sets new conditions for home health agencies, allows comprehensive outpatient rehabilitation facilities to provide occupational therapy, increases the maximum annual payment for outpatient psychiatric occupational therapy, and includes occupational therapy in the definition of partial hospitalization services. AOTF establishes the A. Jean Ayres Award.
