A: The Alabama State Board of Occupational Therapy (ASBOT) has copies of the rules and regulation and the administrative code (i.e., the law) pertaining to scope of practice. Please visit their website at www.ot.alabama.gov for more information.

Q: What do I do if I have lost a continuing education certificate from an ALOTA conference?

A: Please check CE Broker first – In the past, ALOTA had uploaded CE records shortly after every ALOTA sponsored event, but starting in the fall of 2019, we are no longer able to provide this service.  If you need to replace a lost certificate, please contact our Vice President. There is a replacement fee.
