According to the university's public relations office, the congratulatory message, is as follows:

"I am proud to celebrate World Occupational Therapy Day with all faculty members, experts, and dear students in this field who work at the university and its affiliated treatment centers, as well as all occupational therapists across Iran.

The discipline of occupational therapy plays a vital role in enhancing the quality of life and empowering individuals with special needs. Your dedication and hard work in improving the performance and independence of these individuals have a significant and lasting impact on health development and social welfare.

As a foundational aspect of the health system, occupational therapy is essential for the rehabilitation of individuals, positively influencing their physical, mental, and social well-being. The importance of this field is more pronounced than ever, given the challenges we face today, including an aging population, the rise of non-communicable diseases, and traffic accidents.

Your commitment as specialists not only reflects your expertise but also embodies a profound sense of humanism and a relentless pursuit of improving the lives of others. I look forward to a future where, through cooperation and solidarity, we can take even more effective steps in serving our communities.

This day serves as an opportunity to honor the dedicated occupational therapists who, through their efforts and commitment, empower individuals and guide them toward a higher quality of life. Your work in reintegrating individuals into society and enhancing community health is invaluable and commendable.

I am grateful for the opportunity to express my appreciation to all occupational therapists, faculty members, and dear students of this discipline for their remarkable contributions on this World Occupational Therapy Day.

Wishing you all continued success and sustained contributions in the field of rehabilitation.
