Position Papers
As the organization representing occupational therapists in the province, Manitoba Society of Occupational Therapists releases position papers and other responses to issues, news items and other current events relating to the profession.
The primary purpose of these efforts is to provide factual information and reactions from an official source. This prevents misinformation from going unchallenged, clarifies the professional perspective on topics and ensures that the profession is well represented to the public.
