DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES
The goal of the DDSIS is to focus on how OT assessment and intervention can facilitate the inclusion of individuals with developmental disabilities in home, school, work, and community life. The DDSIS provides a forum for practitioners, educators, and researchers to exchange information and strategies and network with each other by highlighting best practice, current trends, and research updates.

PRODUCTIVE AGING
The PASIS fosters the professional development and clinical excellence of occupational therapy practitioners working with older adults. This is achieved via information and activities in areas of practice, research, legislation, education, and practice within the continuum of care for the aged in their various living situations. The PASIS facilitates these goals through: newsletters, workshop presentations, internet contacts, direct communication with membership, and liaisons with related external organizations.

MENTAL HEALTH
This section provides a forum for practitioners working in psychiatric hospitals, community mental health centers, psychosocial clubhouses, home care, partial hospitals, schools, residential centers, transitional programs, day treatment programs, well elderly centers, employee assistance programs, and private practice. The MHSIS is a resource and information network that invites practitioners to share information on practice models, clinical education, legislative issues, payment systems, research, state liaison, and recruitment and retention issues.

CHILDREN & YOUTH

WORK & INDUSTRY
Work plays a significant role in the life of the individual.

Information provided includes practice, research, and legislation and covers traditional and emerging delivery systems.

ACADEMIC EDUCATION
In the AESIS, education is viewed as a shared professional concern. Education is not only defined as academic education, but continuing education, fieldwork education, patient education, and lifelong learning. AESIS and its subsections and networks provide academicians, aspiring faculty, fieldwork supervisors, clinicians, and students opportunities to discuss the many issues involved in occupational therapy education. It also facilitates networking, continuing education opportunities, and collegial support to help occupational therapy practitioners to be more effective educators and provides a forum to address the art and science of learning at all levels.

HOME & COMMUNITY HEALTH
The HCHSIS provides a vehicle for exchange of information and experiences unique to this practice setting. The HCHSIS provides and promotes continuing educational programs, maintains a resource network, and provides a quarterly publication. Its members benefit from networking on special clinical considerations and are advised on current legislative, regulatory, and employment issues. The HCHSIS will also consult with academic programs on home health specific curriculums.

REHABILITATION & DISABILITY
Membership in the RDSIS provides a forum for networking with other professionals, promoting and sharing information, and accessing clinical resources. The RDSIS also facilitates the development of continuing education opportunities and professional development based on member needs. The section serves those who treat populations with diverse physical disabilities, as well as those who treat a specific diagnostic group. It has a designated Hand Subsection to meet the needs of clinicians who treat hand problems as part of a physical disabilities population. The RDSIS strives to maintain the holistic foundation based on functional activity that is unique to OT practice.

SENSORY INTEGRATION & PROCESSING
The SIPSIS offers leadership, resources, and information on sensory integration. It is an occupational therapy theory and clinical tool based on both research and clinical practice. The theoretical foundation and clinical applications utilize and acknowledge the relationship between sensory processing and human adaptation and occupational performance. Sensory integration as a theoretical framework and treatment technique is applied to a variety of disabilities and across the lifespan.
