HISTORICAL BEGINNINGS 

The Association of Caribbean Occupational Therapists was formed at the
first meeting of Caribbean occupational therapists in March 1991 in Antigua. 
Nine registered occupational therapists from Antigua, Barbados, Jamaica and
Trinidad and Tobago met to discuss regional and professional concerns. The
World Federation of Occupational Therapists’ Western Hemisphere delegate to
the United Nations was also present. In April 1992, the first scientific
conference was held in Jamaica. Eighteen occupational therapists attended from
five Caribbean states and the USA. The ACOT Scientific conference has
become a corner stone of ACOT and is now held biennially across ACOT
member countries.
