#1 amandamccoy on 11 Nov 16This is a website that outlines the laws and regulations regarding supervision in occupational therapy, physical therapy, and athletic training in Ohio. The section pertaining to OT is section 4755-7-04 starting at the bottom of page 21. Supervision guidelines were put into place to ensure that OT consumers are protected. OTRs are ultimately responsible for all clients, as well as actions of COTAs, students (both MOT and COTA), as well as unlicensed staff. If an OTR is responsible for administering evaluations, directly treating, and supervising COTAs, the ratio should be no more than 1 OTR per 4 COTAs. However, if the OTR is only administering evaluations and supervising COTAs, the ratio increases to 1 OTR per 6 COTAs.
