CEU Courses for Occupational Therapists
Occupational therapists already work on the routines that determine whether a person eats: setup, endurance, cognition, and the occupations of shopping and cooking. Nutrition content has to respect that scope.
What is different from physical therapy
An OT’s nutrition-related work is often the occupation itself. Can the person get to the kitchen, open the package, stay safe at the stove, and keep a mealtime routine? That is not the same as prescribing a therapeutic diet. Feeding and swallowing intervention has its own competencies. Do not add texture or diet changes that belong to a speech-language pathologist or dietitian.
Credit
These courses are not presented as AOTA Approved Provider courses. AOTA’s approved-provider program is a specific status, and this site does not claim it. State occupational therapy licensure is also separate from NBCOT certification renewal. A course can be useful professionally and still fail one of those tests. Confirm both before you count hours.
Questions
Are the courses AOTA-approved?
No. This site does not claim AOTA Approved Provider status. Check your state board and NBCOT if you need hours to count.
