| (a) Occupational therapy practitioners may develop
or facilitate general purpose, occupation-based groups or classes
including but not limited to handwriting groups, parent-child education
classes, wellness-focused activities for facility residents, aquatics
exercise groups, and cooking for diabetics classes.
(b) These services do not require individualized evaluation
and plan of care services but practitioners may develop goals or curriculums
for the group as a whole. If a participant requires individualized
occupational therapy services, these may only be provided in accordance
with §372.1 of this title (relating to Provision of Services).
(c) When general purpose occupation-based instruction
is being provided pursuant to §372.2, the OT must approve the
curricular goals/program prior to the OTA's initiating instruction.
