This report is a chronicle of the activities that preceded and led to the licensure of occupational therapists in New York State. The activities began at the grass roots level with identification of problems that interfered with the delivery of occupational therapy services to patients in the Long Island area. Attempts to resolve these problems led to legislative monitoring and legal counsel. The end of the research era was marked by the wider involvement of the membership of the New York State Occupational Therapy Association required to secure the passage of licensure in New York State on August 11, 1975.
本报告记录了纽约州职业治疗师获得执照之前的一系列活动及其促成因素。这些活动始于基层，当时人们发现了一些问题，这些问题阻碍了在长岛地区为患者提供职业治疗服务。解决这些问题的尝试引发了立法监督和法律咨询。1975年8月11日，纽约州职业治疗协会会员更广泛地参与进来，以确保纽约州执照法案的通过，标志着研究阶段的结束。
