Abstract
"Occupational therapy (OT) students currently do not have access to an inclusive student leadership society. There are student organizations that exist, however they do not provide the opportunity to solely develop leadership skills. These organizations also do not offer the opportunity for intercollegiate collaboration. The purpose of this research project was to develop an inclusive, intercollegiate student leadership society for OT students. Through the distribution of a survey, recruitment of student volunteers, board member meetings to develop the society and a focus group to understand the effectiveness of this organization, an inclusive OT student leadership society has been developed. This can serve as a model for other institutions to develop their own society in other geographic regions."
