"3. PT's are changing their State Practice Acts to incorporate the above guidelines. The Practice Acts provide language for what PT can legally claim to do. Whether they can actually do it better than OT doesn't matter. Once it's in their practice act they can legally claim expertise in the area."
Ron, I just wanted to share with listserv participants that AOTA and the state OT associations are closely monitoring this issue. In order to succeed the PTs need to change one state law at a time. If the PT bills are amended to clarify the context of their intervention then encroachment into traditional areas of OT practice will be avoided.
