We'd like to thank Vivistim For being a sponsor of WOTA.

The Vivistim system is an FDA approved implantable device that works with the brain and body during OT/PT rehabilitation making it more effective than therapy alone. During rehab exercises, Vivistim delivers a gentle pulse to help the brain strengthen and create new neural pathways like building a bridge to bypass the damaged areas.

We are honored to share the proclamation from Governor Bob Ferguson recognizing April as Occupational Therapy Month in Washington State. As a reminder, a proclamation does not recognize individuals, organizations or businesses and can not be used in paid advertisement. The proclamation is ceremonial and urges the observance of Occupational Therapy Month for April in Washington State. We invite you to share this observance as well!!

Thank you for speaking up to protect Medicaid funding for therapy services. WOTA put the call out, and you answered loudly and often! We worked with AOTA and the PT and Speech associations, and WE WON! Medicaid funding for OT, PT, and Speech services was preserved with NO CUTS in the final Washington state budget released last Wednesday.
