Question

Why is it important to include management duties in the role of both the occupational therapist and the occupational therapy assistant

Answer 1

The occupational therapy profession has multiple levels of entry. Occupational therapy assistants are typically employed in positions in which they work collaboratively with occupational therapists, who supervise them and delegate clinical work. In clinical practice, a supervisory relationship is required, both legally and ethically, between occupational therapy assistants and occupational therapists.
