Below is a message from Chuck Wilmarth (AOTA) that I've posted with his permission.
I know that legislation is not an easy thing to get involved in, but I encourage any readers affected by the below message to do something. Thanks, Ron ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// The October 3 issue of OT Practice has an article about the status of licensure initiatives in three states. If other list members live in Colorado, Michigan or Indiana we need your help. For example in Indiana we have set up a special webpage that allows Indiana practitioners to write their legislators about the licensure bill: http://www.congressweb.com/cweb4/index.cfm?orgcode=iota Licensure is important because it creates a legally defined scope of practice in state law. States need to push forward with initiatives to revise the OT scope of practice to reflect contemporary practice. Of course we recommend using the revised model definition of OT practice as approved by the RA in 2004. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// -- Unsubscribe?
