Purpose


The purpose of this amendment is to address requirements related to both occupational therapy and physical therapy. Rule 6A-6.03024, F.A.C., has been substantially reworded to incorporate requirements related to both occupational therapy and physical therapy currently found in Rules 6A-6.03024 and 6A-6.03025, F.A.C., Special Programs for Exceptional Students who Require Occupational Therapy. The effect will be a rule that updates terminology to clarify that occupational therapy and physical therapy are related services and not special programs and update definitions and revise language to clarify the provision of occupational therapy and physical therapy related to assessment, determination of educational need, and plan of treatment.
