Welcome To MASPOT
The Michigan
Alliance of School Physical and Occupational Therapists is an
organization of OTs and PTs
who work within the Michigan School system.
Organized in 1976, it is designed to meet the unique needs
of school therapists,
and provide a vital link between the medical and
educational communities.
OTs and PTs have served the educational system in Michigan for

The passage of the Special Education state and federal laws defined
