History

The New England Council began during the 1958-59 school year.  It was started by Frances Carr (from Tufts-BSOT) and Anne Henderson (UNH).  The purpose was to share concerns and to communicate about fieldwork issues.  The council met once a year.  The two schools alternated responsibility for the meeting, holding potluck dinners and even lobster parties (courtesy of Elaine Dixey from Concord State Hospital), for clinicians and fieldwork coordinators.

As occupational therapy and occupational therapy assistant schools began in New England, they were invited to join.  There are now 18 member schools.
