Ron I have been in correspondence with an OT in Argentina. He signs himself Jorge OT. I use my C for certified (not for Canada) to indicate my qualification as OT is not a legally protected title in every province in Canada. I show my degree in the signature below because you asked some time ago that we identify ourselves in our posts.

For professional reasons I also stopped using the "L". Now, I just sign "Ron Carson MHS, OT". While not all states require licensure, I still don't understand the need or even the desire to put the "L" in our signature. Maybe years ago when the profession was first getting licensed, but surely there is no good reason today. To me, it's confusing and detracts from our title of "OT". So, why does our profession put "R/L", "R", or "L" in our credential? Does anyone else not use the "L"?
