OT School-based Practice Subcommittee: Practice, Ethics, & Reimbursement Committee
OTAC is advocating for a credential for occupational therapists practicing in the California public schools. OTAC representatives have met with the Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) and key Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA) leaders with positive reception and feedback. The next step is to provide evidence of support from our profession.
Thank you to everyone who answered our survey.
