🚨🚨 NEW OTAC Pain Management Subcommittee 🚨🚨

OTAC has a new Pain Management Subcommittee which falls under the OTAC Practice, Ethics, and Reimbursement Committee. The purpose of OTAC subcommittees is to connect occupational therapists with shared areas of interest and provide a forum for collaboration to:

🚨 Identify and address current practice issues
🚨 Develop resources and position statements to guide clinicians and ensure best practices
🚨 Advocate with policymakers and payers
🚨 Promote OT’s role and excellence across practice areas

The subcommittee is looking for volunteers who are interested in the topic of occupational therapy and pain management. Once a small group is formed, meetings will take place once every 1–2 months for about an hour to address the topics listed above.

Interested? Contact Lindsey Shomer: Lindsey.Shomer@med.usc.edu

OTAC members and conference attendees were asked: Tell me you're an OT without telling me you're an OT.

OTPs are problem-solvers, creative thinkers, and advocates for meaningful participation. From MacGyver-level improvisation to putting the FUN in functional, we analyze every activity and environment to help people of all ages get back to what matters most.

Special Topic Forum | Paradox of Joy: Navigating the Self-Care
Challenges of the Holidays (1 PDU)

Presenter: Christy Billock, PhD, OTR/L, DipACLM
Tuesday, November 18, 2025 | 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM

FREE! For OTAC MEMBERS ONLY as part of the Education Passport.

The holidays can be a time of both joy and stress which can be disruptive and challenge well-being. This presentation will provide strategies for navigating this paradox by offering a deeper understanding of self-care, a lens on occupational calibration, and practical tools to support a sense of well-being through the holiday season. Let’s all commit to supporting our well-being this holiday season.

Christy Billock, PhD, OTR/L, DipACLM, holds a PhD in occupational science from the University of Southern California, where her dissertation explored women’s spirituality experiences in everyday life. With 24 years of experience as a professor, her teaching and scholarship were deeply shaped by questions of meaning, the science of health and well-being, and their connection to daily life. With a board certification in lifestyle medicine, Billock advocates for occupational therapy in lifestyle-based services and as an independent scholar, educator, and consultant. She also maintains a private practice focused on conscious living and dying.

💥💥 SUNDAY KEYNOTE 💥💥

Refueling Your Purpose: Reactivate the WHY That Got You Here presented by Kathryn Sorensen, OTD, OTR/L (NC), ADAC

Our final keynote to wrap up this year’s conference! It was an absolute honor to have Katie Sorensen, occupational therapist and unapologetic ADA nerd, give the last of our three keynotes in Sunday morning. Her lived experience from the lens of an occupational therapy practitioner and as a patient who received support to find independence, reminded us that our purpose as occupational therapy practitioners is found in the stories, relationships, and moments that give meaning to what we do every day.

She also received a special gift and recognition, from Ada Boone Hoerl, MA, COTA/L, due to her advocacy for an accessible ramp on the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill campus.

We are grateful for inspiring words and tireless advocacy! 💜
