The Philippine occupational therapy law is critical in safeguarding occupational therapists from imposters. This law establishes criteria and norms for occupational therapy practice, guaranteeing that only trained practitioners can give services to clients. To practice, occupational therapists must have a license and be registered with the Philippine Association of Occupational Therapists (PAOT). This prohibits people who do not have the necessary training and qualifications from posing as occupational therapists and potentially harming clients. Furthermore, the law requires occupational therapists to follow a strong code of ethics that incorporates concepts of honesty, integrity, and professionalism. This helps to keep fraudulent therapists from committing unethical actions including misrepresenting their credentials, or giving subpar services. The law also establishes a legal framework for clients to file complaints against any fraudulent therapists, enabling for immediate and effective sanctions against them. Overall, the Philippine occupational therapy law protects clients and legitimate occupational therapists by providing a strong safeguard against fraudulent therapists.

Given that occupational therapy services are very expensive, ask your healthcare practitioner if he or she is licensed. You can check the government website to determine if your current OT is licensed. It is critical for you to verify that the individual with whom you are committing yourself or your child is a licensed professional. Several individuals in today's society claim to be occupational therapists but lack the appropriate qualifications or expertise to back it up. This can result in sub-par work or, worse, a scam. As a result, clients have to carefully investigate and check the credentials of the occupational therapist before engaging their services.

You may verify your healthcare provider by visiting the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) link:

Step 3: Select the profession (i.e. Occupational Therapy, Speech Pathology, etc) from the dropdown menu.

Step 4: Write your therapist’s first and last names.

IF YOUR THERAPIST IS LEGIT, his/her name must appear with his/her corresponding profession.

IF YOUR THERAPIST IS FAKE, no results will be found. Report him/her to the national body (PAOT for OTs, PASP for SLPs, PPTA for PTs), PRC, and / or your local authorities. This person SHOULD NOT BE PRACTICING THE PROFESSION!
