Angela, I looked into this a while back. The couple of AIP OT's I spokew with were not too enthusiastic. As best I can remember, most AIP are contractors, not OT's.
I thinking finding adequate referrals will be extremely difficult. MD's are NOT going to place a significant effort in understanding AIP and will probably not refer. Plus, there is the whole issue of payment. Who is going to pay for your services and how many clients can afford to make modifications to their home? Sorry to be so negative.
