The Uganda Association of Occupational Therapists (UAOT) was established in the 1980�s but it wasn�t until 1996 that they started to hold regular meetings. It was in that same year that they became a member of the World Federation of Occupational Therapists (WFOT).
The Association aims:
� to bring together occupational therapists in the country
� to strengthen the delivery of occupational therapy services
� promote and develop the profession
� reduce the rate and impact of disability and deformities
� to form links with other training schools and associations around the world
� to facilitate foreign students and volunteers to carry out placements in Uganda
UAOT is a member of the Occupational Therapy Regional Group (OTARG).
