Educating patients and caregivers, reinforcing appropriate use of adaptive equipment, monitoring progress, and communicating changes to the supervising OT are key responsibilities. Collaboration with PT, nursing, SLP, physicians, and interdisciplinary clinicians, along with completing timely and accurate documentation, is also expected.
