18VAC85-80-110 Supervisory responsibilities of an occupational therapist. Section B states that supervision is to occur "at least every tenth session or 30 calendar days". Section D states that the supervising therapist must "review and countersign within 10 days recordings" in the patient record. If you have to countersign a note within 10 days then you have to provide supervision at that time. This would be very difficult to acheive in a school setting. Please consider documentation by the suprevising OTR every 30 days or 10th visit that supervision has occured.
