Find an OT/OTA

As an additional member benefit, we want to provide TNOTA members who own a clinic and/or practice that provides occupational therapy services to consumers an opportunity to advertise their clinic on our website. By filling out the form below you are consenting to allow consumers to search and view your business contact information on our website. Over the next month or sooner we will be adding a "Find an OT/OTA" link on our menu bar at the top of the page. Consumers will be able to search for OTs/OTAs by zip code. This feature is not for practices or clinics that our members work for, this is strictly for owners of clinics or practices that are TNOTA members.

2018 TNOTA Philanthropy

Thank you to all who voted! The 2017 TNOTA Philanthropy is Affordable Housing Futures! Throughout the year TNOTA will support this philanthropy through monetary and voluntary means! More information will be posted on the website as the year goes on.

Affordable Housing Futures is an organization developed to provide needed housing and support for those identifies as most at risk within our community. individuals exiting incarceration face numerous road blocks and barriers when navigating a confusing and oftentimes unresponsive system of service providers. Most individuals are left to do this on their own. The poorly functioning “system” of support contributes to recidivism. Rutherford County needs a pathway for success post-incarceration that meets the needs of a diverse population and includes both highly defined accountability measures and is rooted in evidence-based practices.
