The Ontario Society of Occupational Therapists is pleased to announce that April Belbeck is the 2023 recipient of the OSOT Honourary Life Membership Award!  The Society's most valued award recognizes and honours an individual who has rendered distinguished and longstanding service to the profession of occupational therapy or to the Society.

April has been a supervisor, mentor, and collaborator to many of Ontario’s OTs. She has volunteered on OSOT committees, including the Auto Insurance Sector Team, and was instrumental in creating the 2011 Assessment of Attendant Care Needs Form 1: A Resource for Reflective Practice document. April was among the first to establish the role of occupational therapists in the field of Life Care Planning. Congratulations, April!
