Hello Lori: I've looked at the CPT but have never used it. Working in a mental health setting, I would think the CPT would be "mandatory".
I did a clinical rotation at a VA hospital in Salisbury, NC. I loved the mental health component, although I really didn't understand what I was doing... The other day, I evaled a man for my home health company. He and his wife were very crafty. He is building an ultra-light airplane and his wife is heavily involved with fused glass. The woman had a kiln in her house!!! I was besides myself as she explained the art of fused glass!! I reminded me of the arts and crafts of OT. Of course, I told her the same!!
