Argument againstApplicants may still be unable to use an occupational therapist’s statement when the condition falls outside that therapist’s legal diagnosis or treatment authority.
More detail
Licensed occupational therapists would be listed as health care practitioners who may provide and sign disability statements. The provision covers occupational therapists licensed under Missouri chapter 324 and people applying for disabled license plates or windshield placards. An occupational therapist may provide a statement only for a physical condition the therapist is legally allowed to diagnose and treat. The statement must use the revenue director’s form, identify the diagnosis and condition, include the therapist’s license number, and be personally signed. The therapist must keep supporting medical records, which the licensing board may inspect to check compliance. The provision would apply when an applicant submits a disability statement and when the revenue director checks the signer’s license.
