When did the national registry of occupational therapy practitioners begin?

The national registry of occupational therapy practitioners was established on January 1, 1931. This date marks the formal beginning of a recognized and organized credentialing process for occupational therapists, aimed at ensuring a standard of practice and promoting the profession. The establishment of the registry was a significant step in professionalizing the field of occupational therapy, providing a foundation for ongoing education, ethical practice, and accountability among practitioners.

The other dates mentioned do not correspond to the establishment of the registry; they may relate to significant moments in occupational therapy history or other related milestones, but they do not represent the formal development of the national registry that took place in 1931.
