The Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD)
has requested ACT- Autism Community Training (ACT) to notify all RASP
Occupational Therapists (OT) of a new category (Supervised Occupational
Therapist) to the Registry of Autism Service Providers (RASP) effective April
1, 2017. MCFD, in collaboration with the Canadian Association of
Occupational Therapists – British Columbia (CAOT-BC), the College of
Occupational Therapists of British Columbia (COTBC), ACT and the Registry of
Autism Service Providers Advisory Panel has developed this new category.
The new category is intended for registered OTs new to
the field of ASD who do not have clinical experience working with children with
ASD under the age of six. The intent is to allow OTs to invoice the Autism
Funding: Under Age 6 program while they gain experience. This experience
will be gained while under the supervision of an experienced OT who currently
qualifies to be on the RASP.
Those approved as a Supervised OTs will appear on the
RASP; information on their Supervisor will also be available.
