Define the scope of practice for occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants in Ohio, including what each license type may and may not do independently

Identify the composition, powers, and meeting obligations of the state occupational therapy licensing board and the statutory basis for its authority

Compile a one-page glossary of statutory terms of art (for example supervision, screening, evaluation, intervention) with the citation where each is defined

Trace each licensure pathway in Ohio (examination, endorsement, and any other route) and list the exact documentation each requires

Differentiate initial licensure, renewal, and reinstatement requirements, including renewal cycle length, deadlines, and late consequences

Summarize continuing education obligations, acceptable activity categories, documentation duties, and audit exposure

Explain reporting and disclosure duties that attach to applicants, such as criminal history, disciplinary history in other jurisdictions, and self-reporting of adverse actions

Distinguish supervision requirements for occupational therapy assistants and for unlicensed personnel, including frequency, method, and documentation of supervision

Describe the required content and retention period of client records, and identify who may access records and under what authorization

Outline the process for delegation and for verifying competence before assigning tasks to assistive personnel

Draft the sequence of steps a practitioner must follow when a supervisor is unavailable or when a plan of care must be modified

Catalog prohibited conduct and grounds for discipline under Ohio law, grouping them by theme (competence, honesty, boundaries, records, billing)

Sequence the complaint-to-disposition process, including investigation, notice, hearing rights, and appeal

Compare the range of available sanctions and the conditions that trigger mandatory versus discretionary action

Explain how a licensee must respond to a board inquiry or subpoena and what confidentiality protections apply to the investigation

Memorize the numeric details that appear in the rules: renewal intervals, CE hour counts, record retention periods, and supervision frequencies

Practice distinguishing the licensed titles and abbreviations that may lawfully be used in Ohio from those that may not

Build a set of self-written flashcards covering every number and defined term identified so far

Answer timed practice sets drawn only from your own outline and flashcards, scoring each set and logging every miss by rule section

Re-read the statutory sections behind every missed item and rewrite the rule in your own words

Identify the three weakest subtopics from the error log and build targeted drills for each

Simulate a full-length timed session to build pacing and flag-setting habits for uncertain items

Re-drill every item in the error log until each is answered correctly twice in a row without notes

Recite from memory the licensure pathways, renewal cycle, CE requirements, supervision rules, and discipline process

Complete two full timed simulations and compare scores against your week 7 baseline
