      Beyond the Clinic: Movement-Based Pediatric Occupational Therapy
      Zach Klein, OTR/L, NREMT

      Zach Klein, MS, OTR/L is the founder of Ready for Action Therapy, a pediatric occupational therapy practice serving the Denver metro area. He specializes in movement-based therapy for children with ADHD, sensory processing differences, anxiety, emotional regulation challenges, executive functioning difficulties, and motor coordination needs.

His background includes exercise science, adaptive sports, wilderness medicine, climbing instruction, and occupational therapy. Zach is passionate about helping therapists move beyond table-top activities to create engaging, evidence-informed interventions that improve participation, self-regulation, and independence in everyday life.

      Title: Beyond the Clinic: Movement-Based Pediatric Occupational Therapy
      Overview: Discover how movement can become one of your most effective treatment tools.

            Equity, Diversity, Justice and Inclusion (EDJI) Committee

            The EDJI Committee will support the EDJI Chair by collaborating closely to advance initiatives that address systemic inequalities and promote occupational justice within the occupational therapy community in Colorado. The committee will assist in developing and implementing strategies to mitigate bias and foster inclusion, ensuring diverse representation and perspectives are considered in all efforts. By organizing town hall meetings, providing educational resources, and advocating for policy changes, the committee will bolster the EDJI Chair's efforts to promote culturally responsive care and align with the AOTA Code of Ethics. Additionally, the committee will work with the EDJI Chair and Secretary to review and update EDJI relevant standard operating procedures, support outreach to marginalized populations, and engage with community organizations, thereby reinforcing the Chair's mission to create a more inclusive and equitable occupational therapy profession.

            Participation on an OTAC committee requires active OTAC membership. We are grateful for our members—your support makes this work possible!

            The committee plans to meet virtually every other month on the second Monday of the month at 6:30pm. Interested in getting involved? Email info@otacco.org to be added to the committee.

            OTAC Legislative Committee

            The OTAC Legislative Committee meets monthly during the Colorado legislative session to review current and proposed legislation impacting occupational therapy practice, in collaboration with OTAC’s lobbyists. Committee members also engage in ongoing advocacy efforts on behalf of Colorado occupational therapy practitioners, addressing a wide range of legislative and practice-related issues.

            Participation on an OTAC committee requires active OTAC membership. OTAC members play a vital role in advancing advocacy efforts for Colorado OTPs and ensuring occupational therapy perspectives are represented at the General Assembly. We are grateful for our members—your support makes this work possible!

            The committee plans to meet virtually the 3rd Thursday of the month at 5pm. Interested in getting involved? Email info@otacco.org to be added to the committee.
