| Contacting Legislators |
| Look up your representatives by going to the General Assembly of Maryland website. If you don’t know your district number, go to the top right and click on “Who represents me?” Enter your full address (some zip codes have two representatives so your street address is also needed). Once you find your representatives, scroll down their individual pages to their contact information. Send a simple message of your support and a personal story if you have one that applies. Don’t forget to mention you are a MOTA member! |

MOTA supports initiatives that:
- Promote quality occupational therapy through education and licensure.
- Address occupational therapy recruitment, retention, and diversity.
- Ensure and protect the rights of practitioners to provide quality care within their full scope of practice.
- Promote client/consumer safety, access to care, education, and self-determination.
- Advocate maintaining or expanding occupational therapy roles through legislation and targeted initiatives through the Maryland General Assembly.
