| | Occupational Therapy Licensure Board |
| | Occupational therapists became regulated between 1983 and 1984. Occupational therapy means the |
| | evaluation of functional performance ability of persons impaired by physical illness or injury, emotional |
| | disorder, congenital or developmental disability, or the aging process, and the analysis, selection and |
| | application of occupations or goal-directed activities for the treatment or prevention of these disabilities to |
| | achieve optimum functioning. The Board is made up of seven members appointed by the Secretary, |
| | consisting of three licensed occupational therapists, two licensed occupational therapy assistants, one |
| | physician, and one public member. The Board is charged with providing expert knowledge and advice on |
| | disciplinary matters and professional performance and conduct. |
