How long do entry-level occupational therapy assistants require close supervision?
Occupational therapy assistant entry-level competencies will vary based on the individual OTA’s abilities and the various occupational therapy practice settings. A supervisor is likely in the best position to assess the competency of an entry-level OTA. Once competency has been achieved, close supervision would no longer be required under s. OT 4.04 (5), Wis. Admin. Code.
