Vision in OT Practice
The foundations session gives the whole team a shared picture and a common vocabulary. The framework course is the OT continuation: level-based sequencing, documentation, goals, and a defensible plan of care, carrying 3.0 AOTA contact hours. VPA™ administration and the ongoing CE library stay licensed to OT practitioners.
The full path: this session → the framework course → the VPA™ assessment course. Each step assumes the one before it, so the language and the levels stay the same the whole way through.
