 Supervision

Supervision of OTA's and Limited Permit Holders 

  • 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.
