Advocacy & Awareness
Advocacy to raise awareness of the value of access to high-quality assistive health technologies and need for trained multidisciplinary professionals to provide prosthetics and orthotics services are strategic priorities for ISPO.
The ISPO Advocacy and Awareness Committee is striving to increase recognition of the need for rehabilitation and technical professionals in prosthetics and orthotics; drive policy development in the prosthetics, orthotics, and rehabilitation field; and develop and implement prosthetics and orthotics standards. These goals are to be achieved through key strategic advocacy measures.
