THE CALIFORNIA BOARD OF OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY

Occupational Therapists and Occupational Therapy Assistant Licenses

Licenses to become an Occupational Therapist (OT) and Occupational Therapy Assistant (OTA) are governed by the California Board of Occupational Therapy which is part of the Department of Consumer Affairs all of which are located in Sacramento, California.

Like other California licensing Boards, the Board of Occupational Therapy may deny, suspend or revoke an OT or OTA license if the licensee has been convicted of a crime and/or commits fraud or unprofessional conduct.

All licensees must submit to Live Scan fingerprinting to determine if any criminal background exists. If you are an Occupational Therapist or applying to become one, and have a criminal background, you should consult with an experienced California professional license defense attorney like Jonathan Turner. Mr. Turner can assist you in presenting your circumstances to the Board in the best light possible. Having also a vast criminal defense law background Mr. Turner may also be able to assist you in clearing up your criminal history.

If you find that the Board is inquiring or investigating your “moral fitness” to hold an Occupational Therapist or Occupational Therapy Assistant license, perhaps because of alleged fraud or unprofessional conduct, contact Occupational Therapist license defense attorney Jonathan Turner right away. Since 1998, Mr. Turner has defended licensed professionals all over California in administrative proceedings involving the proposed discipline of their license. This defense may include formulating a thorough and powerful document presentation to the Board on behalf of the license holder or applicant. It may also include representation in an administrative hearing held at one of California’s Offices of Administrative Hearings. In handling dozens of administrative hearings all over California Mr. Turner has attained expertise in all phases of the process from pre-trial settlement conferences, to subpoenas, to presenting both live witness testimony and documentary exhibits at trial.
