Planning Grant Collective 2025: Coaching in Occupational Therapy

Oct. 20-21, 2025

The 2025 AOTF Planning Grant Collective, “Coaching in Occupational Therapy,” will be held in Alexandria, VA, on October 20-21, 2025.

The program will bring together occupational therapy leaders for a two-day workshop to clarify and advance the critical role coaching plays in occupational therapy. This meeting is a first step in developing collaborative teams that will continue to meet to create further action steps and projects, white papers, and new research grant proposals to move the profession forward in the area of coaching in occupational therapy to maximize client outcomes. 

The Foundation plans to convene one Collective a year. We believe this interdisciplinary approach to identifying essential research topics will result in critical new research in questions of great interest and opportunity for the OT profession.
