Arizona OT Limited Permits

Who is eligible for a limited license?

The board may grant a limited license to a person who has not taken the licensure examination if that person was trained in this country and has completed the academic and fieldwork requirements.

What type of supervision is required for a limited license holder?

The holder of a limited license may practice occupational therapy only under the supervision of a licensed occupational therapist.

    • Any change or addition of a supervising occupational therapist requires the filing of a new Direct Supervision Agreement for a Limited Permit form by the supervisor.
    • The supervisor shall submit the Direct Supervision Agreement for a Limited Permit form within seven (7) days of any change or addition of a supervising occupational therapist.
    • The supervising occupational therapist shall co-sign all patient records documenting patient treatment and progress.
