[QUOTE="SRL, post: 509394, member: 701"] If you mean an Occupational Therapist (OT) shouldn't be the one to diagnose or rule out Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)'s, I'm with you there, but I'm not following you with the rest. Occupational therapists can diagnose within their field. That would include issues within such areas as sensory processing, apraxia, motor skills, swallowing problems, ability to carry out daily life tasks, etc. The medical community as well as insurance companies recognize these as valid diagnoses, as they do with diagnoses given by certified speech-language pathologists, physical therapists, etc. A major part of their classroom education and fieldwork is devoted to the use of assessment.
