Is it appropriate for COTAs to attend AMPS courses and use the AMPS?
According to AOTA recommended guidelines, COTAs may administer standardized ADL assessments under the supervision of an OTR. The ability to supervise requires that the OTR have background information related to the AMPS and/or consult with an OTR who has been trained and calibrated in the use of the AMPS. As with all assessment tools the COTA administers, service competency needs to be established between the COTA and the supervising OTR.
