Supervision

 

The supervision of an OTA by an OT is an ongoing process that enhances the professional growth of both participants.  They both are responsible for knowing and adhering to applicable laws, rules and policies pertaining to the practice of occupational therapy.

 

The OT and the OTA are each responsible for supervision to ensure safe and effective service delivery of occupational therapy services and to foster professional competence and development.  The supervising occupational therapist shall provide supervision.  The occupational therapy assistant shall obtain supervision.

 

Supervision should reflect a review of all aspects of the OTA's practice.  The OT is ultimately responsible for all delegated services.
