A tote bag for occupational therapists, OTAs and OT students. There's room for assessment kits and therapy materials, and the “Occupational Therapy Is My Jam” design might save them explaining one more time that it's not physical therapy.
Why OTs pick this one
-
Carries an actual OT load. Assessment kits, adaptive equipment, and therapy materials
-
Three styles. A light cotton tote (15″ x 15″), a larger gusseted tote (18″ x 15″) or a premium tote with black handles and base (17″ x 14″ x 6″).
-
Covers OT and OTA. The design names the field, not one credential
-
Reinforced handles. Built for a bag that is loaded every day
-
No clothing size to guess. Easy for a department order

When to buy
OT Month in April is the clear peak, running straight into Teacher Appreciation Week for school-based therapists. Graduation and the end of Level II fieldwork in May and June are the other big moments. It also makes a good thank-you from a student to a fieldwork educator.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good gift for an occupational therapist?
A large, sturdy tote. OTs often carry equipment from room to room, so capacity matters.
Which size is best for a school-based OT?
The gusseted 18″ x 15″. It is the roomiest of the three, with space for a therapy kit and a laptop between buildings.
Does this work for a COTA as well as an OTR?
Yes, the design says occupational therapy rather than naming a credential.
When is OT Month?
April. Order by late March if you are buying for a team.
How should it be washed?
Cold machine wash and hang to dry.
