This web resource outlines Ohio Law concerning occupational therapists supervisory roles. A supervising occupational therapist is responsible and accountable for the actions of an occupational therapy assistant, occupational therapy assistant student, occupational therapy student, and unlicensed personnel, such as an aide or technician. A full-time supervising therapist who performs evaluations and is not directly responsible for providing occupational therapy treatment may supervise six occupational therapy assistants. However, a full-time supervising therapist who performs evaluations and maintains his/her own caseload may supervise no more than four occupational therapy assistants. A supervising occupational therapist must meet weekly with occupational therapy assistants who have less than one year of clinical experience, and monthly for those who have more than one year of clinical experience. This web resource provides vital information for those of us who are planning on working in Ohio.

This web resource outlines West Virginia law regarding occupational therapists supervisory roles. Under West Virginia law, it is the responsibility of the occupational therapist and the occupational therapy assistant to decide the appropriate frequency and quality of supervision to ensure that the occupational therapy assistant is providing both safe and effective occupational therapy services to their patients. A supervising occupational therapist who is supervising an occupational therapy assistant with less than one year's experience is responsible for providing general supervision and must be available as needed by telephone, electronic, or written communication. Additionally, the occupational therapist must provide direct contact supervision to the occupational therapy assistant every two weeks at the work site. The same supervision rules apply to an experienced occupational therapy assistant except direct contact is only required monthly. The occupational therapist must document any type of supervision. This particular document did not mention how many occupational therapy assistants an occupational therapist can supervise at one time. This document is beneficial in highlighting the supervisory roles of an occupational therapist, for anyone considering working within West Virginia.

The number of residents in long-term nursing facilities with dementia and cognitive impairments is continuing to increase each year. Many studies have shown decreases in quality of life for residents with these diagnoses. This article studies the effects of animal assisted therapy compared to human interactions on social behaviors and engagement among elderly patients with dementia in a long-term care facility. Patients were randomly divided into two groups, a group with human interactions and a group with animal assisted therapy. The study was conducted over a two-week period of time. The human interaction group consisted on one-on-one time with general conversation and reading and looking at pictures in the newspaper. The animal assisted therapy group consisted of petting, brushing and talking to the dogs. Data was collected using the Demographic and Pet History Questionnaire and the Social Behaviors checklist. The results showed that animal assisted therapy had a positive impact on social behaviors and increased engagement in activities, while also decreasing incidents requiring staff members.

This PDF document highlights Kentucky Law regarding occupational therapists supervisory roles. As mentioned under section two, Kentucky Law states that an occupational therapy supervisor must provide at least four hours per month of general supervision for each occupational therapy assistant whom they supervise. Two of these general supervision hours must include face-to-face, direct contact with the occupational therapy assistant. In addition, the supervising occupational therapist must co-sign all documentation within fourteen calendar days of the notation. All supervision must be documented in a log that includes the date/frequency of supervision, type of supervision provided, observation, dialogue, discussion, and instruction provided, as well as the number of supervisory hours worked. The board can perform random audits examining occupational therapists supervision logs. It is important to note that in Kentucky a supervising occupational therapist may not supervise more than three occupational therapy assistants at one time. For those planning on working in Kentucky, this document is useful in outlining supervisory roles/responsibilities of occupational therapy practitioners in terms of supervision.

I feel that is an important document that all of us should look up, read, and study for our individual home states. In Kentucky, an OTR must provide at least 4 hours of supervision a month for each COTA. Within 14 days, an OTR must co-sign all documents. In addition, in Kentucky an OTR can only supervise 3 COTAs at one time.

This article is a qualitative study of an occupational therapist assistant's clinical reasoning. Even though the article is about an occupational assistant, it is still very relevant and relatable to an occupational therapist. I chose this article because the OTA worked in a SNF and this is currently were I am working at. The article found that the OTA used multiple forms of clinical reasoning throughout the day including, pragmatic, procedural, interactive, conditional, and narrative clinical reasoning. Occupational therapists use clinical reasoning with every patient encounter and each therapist may have different clinical reasoning.

This study examined the relationship between physical status and severity of depressive symptoms. They found that older adults can experience a decrease in depressive symptoms, despite having increased symptoms of physical disability. This study also found that older adults are likely to obtain more assistive devices as they age indicating an effort to maximize independence in the presence of disability.

I feel that our understanding of the clinical reasoning of COTAs is important, since OTs will be working with COTAs. In this article, participant demonstrated the use of pragmatic, procedural, interactive, conditional, and narrative reasoning. Further research to support these findings and to increase the understanding of the forms of clinical reasoning used by occupational therapy assistants is suggested.

AOTA previously published fieldwork educators/clinical instructor's behaviors that we cited by students that assist with developing as an educator. To be a successful educator, OT students believe that one must be enthusiastic and believing fieldwork is an educational opportunitity as well as creating a foundation and expectations for the teaching-learning process. Fieldwork educators assists students in identifying and understanding what is important to learn during the rotation as well as having open and consistant communication regarding performance areas. To be successful, students believe clinical instructors need to encourage students to utilizing problem-solving strategies and clinical reasoning when developing intervention approaches. It is important to provide students with open communication which encourages students to ask questions and providing them with precise answers. Lastly, a successful clinical instructor will provide constructive feedback in a timely manner.
