Professionalism: As we have learned, it is our duty to do our best to advocate for OT, but also our clients. This qualitative study aims to understand the meaning of advocacy of OTs by exploring their reasons for advocating. Results show OTs advocate for a few reasons: for themselves (personal fulfillment), the client (engaging in occupation, human rights and basic needs, quality of life), and a mixture of both (client-centered practice, power and influence to benefit client).

This article discusses the ethics behind OTs taking on an advocacy role, both as an advocate for their clients and also empowering clients to advocate for themselves. The OT code of ethics requires OTs to be advocates through the principles of beneficence, justice, and veracity. It is important that OTs understand laws and regulations and how to apply them to clients needs. Understanding this legal language is important as it can dictate who and how we treat. The incorporation of evidence based practice is also essential in advocacy efforts as it adds to credibility and can help strengthen a case for a client and their need for services.

AOTA. Occupational Therapy Assistant Supervision Requirements. This AOTA document summarizes laws for supervision of COTAs by state. I compared some of the supervision laws of Ohio and Kentucky because I will most likely be working in one or both of these states. As I read through the specific laws for each of these states, I was surprised by the differences. For practitioners living near the border of multiple states, being well-versed in specific state laws will be essential for protecting our licensure. I summarized just a couple specific laws of these two states to give you a better idea of how they may differ state to state. This is a very important document to keep handy, and it goes into much more detail than what I've provided here. In Kentucky, supervising OTs must provide no less than 4 hours per month of general supervision for each COTA, which must include no less than 2 hours per month of face-to-face supervision. This law is more specific in Ohio. In Ohio, OTs must provide supervision at least once a week for all COTAs who are in their first year of practice. The OT must provide supervision at least once a month for COTAs beyond their first year of practice. Ohio law specifies that co-signing client documentation alone does not meet the minimum level of supervision. Supervision is specified as an interactive process that includes review of the following: client assessment, client reassessment, treatment/intervention plan, intervention, and discontinuation of treatment/intervention plan. In Kentucky, OTs may not have more than the equivalent of 3 full time COTAs under supervision at any 1 time. In Ohio, the number of COTAs an OT can supervise varies based upon the OTs job duties. If the OT performs evaluations, direct treatment, and supervision of OT personally, an OT may supervise up to 4 COTAs. However, if the OT does NOT provide direct treatment, the OT may supervise up to 6 COTAs.

This qualitative study identified the professional values of Australian OTs. Some of these values included problem solving, working with clients, occupations, advocacy, leadership, kindness, empathy. The authors conclude that appropriate OT practice must include a reflection of how an OTs values shape his/her practice.

This article is not about student supervision, but occupational therapy assistant supervision. The article was located on the AOTA website and provides a model state Regulation for supervision, roles, and responsibilities during the delivery of occupational therapy services. The purpose of the model is to provide a template for use by state agencies and occupational therapy regulatory boards when drafting or revising regulations to govern the clinical supervision of occupational therapy assistants, limited permit holders, and aides. The model is intended to help safeguard the public health, safety and welfare by establishing guidelines that are consistent with professional standards and accepted practice in the profession. I think this is a good model to have in place to guide state regulation policies.
