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 is a good website for a quick reference for the supervision laws for occupational therapy for those interested in practicing in South Carolina. I have friends and one family member living in South Carolina therefore I chose to research there supervision laws. In the state an OT needs to provide supervision to their COTAs ever 7 visits or 30 days, whichever comes first. In South Carolina there is no limit to the number of COTAS or aids that an OTR can supervise however the burden of proof of supervision is on the OTR. The webpage also indicates that a physician referral is not needed to initiate or continue service. This is similar to Ohio's policy. However many private insurance companies may require a referral. The quick reference web page then goes on to describe CUE licensure requirements.

Supervision; Applying for Licensure

I thought it would be beneficial to provide the steps to take in order to obtain an OT license, since most of us will be taking the certification exam and applying for a license. We are allowed to practice before taking the NBSOT exam, but OTs practicing under a temporary license are required to have supervision by a licensed OT. A student who has graduated from an accredited OT program, but has not passed the certification exam, may practice under a temporary license. However, they must practice under the supervision of a licensed OT in both the evaluation process and the intervention process. To obtain a license, these are the steps that are required: Graduate from an accredited OT or OTA educational program, complete fieldwork requirements, apply for and pass the NBCOT® Certification Examination, and apply for a license and pay a fee for each state/jurisdiction in which you wish to practice.

This article is a 6 year longitudinal study to see changes in 5 cohorts of OT and PT students over the course of professional training when considering ethics and moral judgment. This article showed no differences in change of moral judgment between males and females, however overall. there was an increase in moral judgment over the course of the study.
