AOTA's Code of Ethics

The Code of Ethics Standards was meant to address the most common ethical concerns of the occupational therapy profession in multiple settings such as research, practice, and education. This document pertains to occupational therapist in multiple roles, guides behavior, and informs therapists of their impact on clients (AOTA, 2010).

The AOTA Code of Ethics only covers its voluntary members (AOTA, 2010).
