Nutrition CEU Courses for Occupational Therapy Assistants
Clients tell assistants things they do not always repeat to the evaluating therapist. Appetite, money for groceries, and fatigue at meals are examples.
Use the information inside the plan
If the occupational therapist has included meal preparation or health-management occupations, the OTA can practice those tasks and can reinforce general points the plan already allows. New findings go back to the OT. A supplement request, a swallowing problem, or a medical diet goes further, to the dietitian, physician, or speech-language pathologist named by the team.
What the courses do not authorize
They do not authorize an OTA to sell meal plans, to change a physician’s diet order, or to count the hours for a license until that board says so.
Questions
Do OTA courses on this site have a different curriculum?
No. The three courses are the program curriculum. The OTA pages explain the role. They are not a fourth course.
