Telehealth Resources
ArizOTA is providing these resources to help you navigate the shift to telehealth. The items in red are from trusted local and national organizations we look to for guidance and policy making. The other items were submitted by your OT peers. They are not endorsed by ArizOTA but are provided for your consideration in an effort to assist all practitioners and students during these complex times. We’ll continue to update this page, so check back frequently.
