    • Does not represent himself as an occupational therapist or an occupational therapy assistant; and
    • Completes any continuing education requirements which may be established by the director, in consultation with the council.

    • A completed renewal application;
    • The renewal fee for the current biennial period; and
    • An affidavit of employment listing each job held during the period the licensee was inactive, including the name, address and telephone number of each employer.
