Oklahoma Occupational Therapy Practice Act and Board Rules & Scope of Practice, Referral, and Treatment Authorization Requirements
Map the structure of the Oklahoma Occupational Therapy Practice Act and identify which sections govern licensure, supervision, scope, and discipline
Define the statutory definitions that control practice (occupational therapy, assistant, aide, supervision, referral) in your own words
Trace how the Practice Act and the Board rules interact when a conflict appears, and note which controls
Build a one-page crosswalk linking each scope-of-practice statute to its implementing Board rule
Your checkpoint
A one-page statute-to-rule crosswalk covering scope, referral, and supervision citations, with a 150-word summary of how the Act and rules interact
Oklahoma Occupational Therapy Practice Act and Board Rules & Scope of Practice, Referral, and Treatment Authorization Requirements
Outline the referral and treatment authorization pathway from initial order through discontinuation
Distinguish when a referral is required from when it is not, using statutory language rather than memory
Identify documentation elements the Act and rules require for evaluation, plan of care, and progress notes
Explain how treatment authorization differs for initial evaluation, ongoing intervention, and changed orders
Your checkpoint
A flowchart of the referral-to-treatment-authorization pathway with each step annotated to a specific statute or rule citation
Supervision and Delegation of Occupational Therapy Assistants and Aides
Differentiate the supervision standards applied to occupational therapy assistants from those applied to aides
List the responsibilities that cannot be delegated to an assistant or aide under any circumstance
Describe the frequency and documentation requirements for supervision contacts
Analyze three short delegation scenarios and decide whether each is permissible with a cited justification
Your checkpoint
A delegation decision table covering at least 12 tasks marked delegable, delegable-with-supervision, or non-delegable, each with a citation
Licensure, Licensure Renewal, and Continuing Education Requirements
Sequence the licensure application steps from education and fieldwork through examination and issuance
Summarize renewal cycle, late renewal, and reinstatement requirements including any fees or penalties
Identify continuing education hour requirements, acceptable activity categories, and recordkeeping obligations
Explain the consequences of practicing on a lapsed license or without a license
Your checkpoint
A licensure and renewal checklist with deadlines, hour requirements, and record retention periods, verified against current Board rules
Professional Conduct, Ethics, Complaints, and Disciplinary Procedures
Outline the complaint intake, investigation, and hearing process from filing to final order
Identify the grounds for disciplinary action enumerated in the Act and rules
Distinguish unprofessional conduct from practice errors and explain how each is handled

Complete a full-length timed practice set across all five domains and log accuracy by domain
Re-read the two lowest-scoring domains and rewrite those weak areas into corrected summary notes
Memorize the numeric thresholds that recur across domains (supervision frequency, CE hours, renewal intervals, response deadlines)
Build a personal error log categorizing each miss as knowledge gap, misread question, or citation confusion
Your checkpoint
A scored practice exam report with per-domain accuracy percentages and a prioritized list of the five weakest subtopics
Oklahoma Occupational Therapy Practice Act and Board Rules & Licensure, Licensure Renewal, and Continuing Education Requirements & Supervision and Delegation of Occupational Therapy Assistants and Aides & Scope of Practice, Referral, and Treatment Authorization Requirements & Professional Conduct, Ethics, Complaints, and Disciplinary Procedures
Review the error log and confirm each previously missed concept can be explained without notes

Your checkpoint
A one-page pre-exam reference sheet plus a week-7 versus week-8 accuracy comparison showing improvement in every domain below target
Milestones
