Welcome to the Jordanian Society for Occupational Therapy (JSOT).

The JSOT is the official representative of occupational therapy students and practitioners and occupational therapy profession in Jordan. It was established in 2004 with a mission of maintaining and promoting high standards of occupational therapy practice in Jordan. In addition, JSOT aims to ameliorate the working conditions of Jordanian occupational therapists. Jordan has been a full member of the World Federation of Occupational Therapists (WFOT) since 1992. 

The JSOT was founded to serve the accomplishment of several goals such as promoting the quality of occupational therapy services provided in Jordan through the conduction of training courses and workshops to occupational therapists. Establishing codes of ethics for the practice of occupational therapy, as well as providing consultation services for institutions that provide occupational therapy services are other goals that JSOT strives to meet. The JSOT is also involved in evaluating academic occupational therapy programs in Jordan against the WFOT Minimum Standards for the Education of Occupational Therapists.

Dear Colleagues,

We at the JSOT believe that strong profession and strong professional society are made up of strong professional members who work together to achieve the mission and goals of their society. Therefore, we at the JSOT encourage you to join your Society.
