used in these rules shall mean the Arkansas State Occupational Therapy
Licensing Act 381 of 1977.
6.2
FREQUENT AND REGULAR SUPERVISION DEFINED: As specified in the Occupational
Therapy Practice Act
17-88-102,
(3) an "occupational therapy assistant" means a person licensed to assist in
the practice of occupational therapy under the frequent and regular supervision
by or in consultation with an occupational therapist whose license is in good
standing. "Frequent" and "regular" are defined by the Arkansas State
Occupational Therapy Examining Committee as consisting of the following
elements:
(A) The supervising occupational
therapist shall have a legal and ethical responsibility to provide supervision,
and the supervisee shall have a legal and ethical responsibility to obtain
supervision regarding the patients seen by the occupational therapy
assistant.
(B) Supervision by the
occupational therapist of the supervisee's occupational therapy services shall
always be required, even when the supervisee is experienced and highly skilled
in a particular area.
(C)
Frequent/Regular Supervision of an occupational therapy assistant by the
occupational therapist is as follows:
1) The
supervising occupational therapist shall meet with the occupational therapy
assistant for on-site, face to face supervision a minimum of one (1) hour per
forty (40) occupational therapy work hours performed by the occupational
therapy assistant, to review each patient's progress and objectives.
2) The supervising occupational therapist
shall meet with each patient being treated by the occupational therapy
assistant on a monthly basis, to review patient progress and
objectives.
(D) The
occupational therapists shall assign, and the occupational therapy assistant
shall accept, only those duties and responsibilities for which the occupational
therapy assistant has been specifically trained and is qualified to perform,
pursuant to the judgment of the occupational therapist.
(1) Assessment/reassessment. Patient
evaluation is the responsibility of the occupational therapists. The
occupational therapy assistant may contribute to the evaluation process by
gathering data, and reporting observations. The occupational therapy assistant
may not evaluate independently or initiate treatment prior to the occupational
therapist's evaluation.
(2)
Treatment planning/Intervention. The occupational therapy assistant may
contribute to treatment planning as directed by the occupational therapist. The
occupational therapist shall advise the patient/client as to which level of
practitioner will carry out the treatment plan.
