  The above link is to a massive document that discusses the necessary supervisory roles and behaviors for practicing occupational therapists supervising COTAs or student OT's.
  
  According to the document in the state of Ohio, supervisory laws for OTs/COTAs requires "initial direction and periodic inspection", with the supervising OT not required to be on-site but must be available as needed for consultation. For COTAs in their first year of practice, OT's must provide supervision at least 1x per week, where as it is only necessary 1x per month following the first year of practice. The supervision process must include nearly each facet of the OT process, and cosigning alone DOES NOT suffice for required supervision.
  
  If you are curious to see how supervisory regulations differ based on a state where you are interested in practicing, check this document out!
