The Basic, yet comprehensive, option provides you with digital-only access to OT Practice and member pricing on many of our resources. The Plus+ membership offers the best value with unlimited access to many of our CE courses. If you know for sure that you'll be attending the AOTA INSPIRE Annual Conference & Expo in a given year, then the Premium package is for you! Learn more about AOTA's membership options.
