YARMOUTH, Maine – The Clinician Task Force will have a new executive director, Tamara Kittelson, starting in January 2025. Kittelson is an occupational therapist, RESNA-certified ATP/SMS and ISWP-certified intermediate wheelchair provider who has worked in the complex rehab industry for 39 years. She founded Posture 24/7 and Eleanore’s Project, promoting 24-hour posture care management and appropriate seating and wheeled mobility provision in low resource settings, and has presented and written on these topics nationally and internationally. She is a 16-year member of the Clinician Task Force, a Friend of iNRRTS, founding chair of the RESNA 24-7 Posture Care Management special interest group, and a member of RESNA and AOTA. “I am confident the CTF will be in great hands with Tamara's guidance,” said Cara Masselink, outgoing executive director and an associate professor & fieldwork coordinator in occupational therapy at Western Michigan University. “I also would like to give my sincere thanks for the support, camaraderie and collaboration over the last four years. I'm so grateful to have been a part of a team that has made significant changes to access for people who need CRT.”
