OTA/OT Supervision: Using Collaboration for Success

The relationship between OTs and OTAs can be one of the distinct values of occupational therapy as it can enrich the OT process as the two work together to achieve the best outcomes for clients. Yet as OT practitioners juggle so many demands, it may seem daunting to just fulfill the requirements of occupational therapy supervision not to mention working to nurture the relationship.

This continuing education course will help OT practitioners gain a better understanding of the roles of the occupational therapy assistant and occupational therapist related to the supervisory relationship. The use of collaboration to build a better OTA/OT partnership will be discussed and examples for navigating the challenges associated with the OT/OTA relationship will be presented.

This course is targeted at occupational therapy assistants and occupational therapists.

This continuing education course uses the following instructional methods: visual aides (ie slides), discussion board, guided note taking, and learning.

Content disclosure: This course does not exclusively focus on any specific product or service.
