This article presents a historical review of Occupational Therapy in the Dominican Republic, including its leading actors, the stages through which occupational therapist training programs were developed, and the formation of the national guild. This process has faced various difficulties, but the support provided by international associations and universities is evident. The future of Occupational Therapy in the Dominican Republic looks promising through strengthening and expanding training, offering professional services, and positioning the Dominican Society of Occupational Therapy, among other challenges. This is the legacy we aspire to leave to future generations of occupational therapists in the country.
