AOTA Backpack Awareness Day

Join American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) and occupational therapy practitioners, educators, and students across the country as we help others Live Life To Its Fullest by avoiding the pain and injury that can come from heavy backpacks and bags. Students, parents, educators, school administrators, and community members will learn safety tips to stay protected from back pain throughout life. OT students will be available to educate you on how to properly choose, pack, lift, and carry various types of bags—including backpacks, purses, briefcases, and suitcases.
