We don't have the option here whether or not to use L. If we want to practice as an OT, we have to have a license. Audra Ray

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"?
