Annual membership

$31 practitioner | $11 student


This South Florida Black OT Caucus is a professional home created to support and uplift Black/Black-identifying occupational therapy practitioners, occupational therapy assistants, and OT/OTA students across all practice settings. "Black-identifying" includes individuals who identify with the African diaspora, including Afro-Latino, Afro-Caribbean, Afro-Asian, and other diasporic identities. Our work centers connection, mentorship, professional growth, and advocacy rooted in shared lived experience within the occupational therapy profession.

Membership is available to Black-identifying individuals from the diaspora and are engaged in occupational therapy practice or education. Members gain access to a supportive network, leadership opportunities, culturally responsive resources, and spaces designed to foster belonging, excellence, and collective advancement.

For Allies Interested in Supporting This Work

We deeply appreciate your interest in advancing equity, inclusion, and representation within occupational therapy. While membership is reserved for individuals who meet the eligibility criteria outlined above, we warmly welcome the support and engagement of allies, including non-Black practitioners, students, educators, and advocates. We invite allies to participate in our events, initiatives, and educational opportunities, and to join us in fostering a more inclusive and equitable profession. We also encourage continued involvement with other occupational therapy organizations and professional communities that share a commitment to excellence, collaboration, and the advancement of occupational therapy for all.
