We are an accredited non-profit, non-stock organization of occupational therapists founded in 1965 as the Occupational Therapy Association of the Philippines, Inc. (OTAP, Inc.).

On August 19, 2015, we changed to our present name and visual identity to better represent our mission and vision for the occupational therapy profession in the Philippines.

Our organization is dedicated to advancing the profession through education, advocacy, research, and community service. We strive to uphold the highest standards of practice and promote the importance of occupational therapy in healthcare.
