From the OOTPTATB:</p> 100<blockquote><p> 101In accordance with rule 4755-27-04 of the Administrative Code, the supervising physical therapist assistant is accountable and responsible at all times for the direction of the actions of the persons supervised, including other licensed personnel. A physical therapist assistant can provide direct supervision of other licensed personnel even if the physical therapist is not on-site but is available by telecommunication at all times and able to respond appropriately to the needs of the patient. However, only a physical therapist can determine that care for a patient may be delegated to other licensed personnel.</p></blockquote> 102<hr /> 103 <h3>Salary Comparison for PTAs in Ohio</p>
