| Action Summary | FSBPT has informed member boards that, as of November 30, 2016, it will no longer offer the PRT and has replaced it with a different assessment tool called oPTion. With the shift to oPTion, the FSBPT has also eliminated the “standard” and replaced it with an assessment report that categorizes the therapist’s performance into level 1-4. The Board will decide whether to replace the PRT with oPTion and, if so, it will need to determine if a specific level of performance will be required for the purpose of licensing therapists who have not been engaged in active practice or for granting credit to licensees for continuing education. |
