AOTA is pleased to present the Chairperson of the AOTA Ethics Commission, Dr. Brenda Howard, and Ethics Commission Staff Liaison, Rebecca Argabrite Grove as they speak to you about the important topic of Ethics as an AOTA member.  Brenda and Rebecca will provide an overview of the Ethics Commission's function, and responsibilities, including how its work intersects with state licensing agencies, and general practice of OT.  The discussion is followed by ethics-based case scenarios that will provide interesting and valuable information.   

This video is a recording of a course provided as a live event for individuals involved with licensing at the state level.  The information contained will be valuable to all OT practitioners interested in learning more about AOTA ethics and enforcement.
