Alternative Modalities, a nonprofit
organization, came into being in June of 1993 at the American Physical Therapy Association conference in Cincinnati. Thanks to the efforts of some of our founding members, this was also the year the APTA added the words
"sexual orientation" to its policy on nondiscrimination. Initially the group served mainly as a networking tool to put gay and lesbian therapists in touch with each other. Gradually our numbers have increased to well
over 150 active voting members and more than 200 contacts and mailing list recipients. We look forward to showing a stronger voice in the APTA and our profession. |
