Supervisors who take a
leave of absence or vacation Must make arrangements to have their
supervisory responsibilities filled by another qualified
supervisor.
The supervising OT
shall determine that limited permit holders and OTA's hold current
permits or licenses to practice or assist in the practice of
occupational therapy prior to allowing the limited permit holders
and OTA's to engage in the practice of occupational therapy.
Each OTA is to have one
primary OT supervisor sign the substantiation of supervision form. This
primary OT supervisor is ultimately responsible for the OTA, even when the
OTA is working under a different licensed OT due to workplace scheduling.
Modalities
The Board does not regulate or require certification for OT's performing
specific modalities. It is the responsibility of the OT to be proficient in
the specific modality he/she is practicing. Should a complaint or lawsuit
arise involving an OT's application of a specific modality, the OT would be
responsible for proving his/her proficiency and appropriateness of
application of the modality.
