OT Week 2026

26 October – 1 November 2026 World OT Day: 27 October OT Week is our annual celebration of the extraordinary impact occupational therapists make every day. This year’s theme, Participation Matters, puts a spotlight on one of the foundations of occupational therapy – the understanding that being able to participate in life is fundamental to our health, wellbeing and sense of belonging.
