Alyson Stover
MOT, JD, OTR/L, BCP
A childhood family trauma introduced Alyson to the power of occupational therapy. A subsequent lifetime of study and practice convinced her that consumer advocacy was every bit as essential as her technical practice of occupational therapy. She obtained her Masters in Occupational Therapy from the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt), where she later returned and obtained a juris doctorate in Law with a post-graduate certificate in Health Law. Alyson owns a private outpatient pediatric practice north of Pittsburgh, PA, and co-founded a non-profit organization that uses occupation to address community, societal, and population needs. Integrating her lived experience with her professional training, Alyson continues to develop new programming and provide direct client care at Capable Kids. She also uses her occupational therapy lens in her private consulting business. Alyson has an appointment as an associate professor in the Department of Occupational Therapy at Pitt, as well as an appointment as affiliated faculty for the Center of Bioethics and Health Law at Pitt. At the University of Pittsburgh Alyson has served on numerous grants, including PI for the SAMHSA grant, “SBIRT-Plus Training for Students of Rehabilitation Professions,” and the Pitt CTSI grant, “Pennsylvania Ties That Heal (PATH),” examining the experiences of kindred caregivers in rural counties. Her work at Capable Kids has also led to the awards of 3 grants, including the pilot grant, “Influencing Recovery amidst the Opioid Epidemic through Improved Mother and Infant Outcomes,” PA funded grant, “Trauma-informed Occupational Therapy for Children with Sexual Trauma Experience,” and a community collaboration grant, “Multidisciplinary Approach to Sustained Recovery for Individuals with Chronic Pain and Opioid Use Disorder.” Her areas of practice expertise include emotional regulation and functional community participation in pediatrics and holistic, occupation-centric approaches to substance misuse and trauma. She is AOTA Board Certified in Pediatrics. Alyson has long admired occupational therapy’s approach that fully embraces the whole person and appreciates the occupational therapy practice framework’s recognition of the influence of spirituality, values, and beliefs in the individual’s experience of wellness. Her own self-care routine is inclusive of daily practice of her Christian faith. Alyson's national OT focus includes using occupational therapy as a powerful driving-force for larger healthcare change, advancing occupational therapy’s national and global relevance, and occupational therapy’s role as a leader in policy development and implementation. On July 1 2022, Alyson commenced her position as President of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA). She is humbled and honored to serve in this role and is eager to hear the voices of all members of the occupational therapy community, at home and across the world.
