Any person who is not a doctor and who habitually performs professional occupational therapy acts, as defined by decree of the Conseil d’Etat after consulting the Académie nationale de médecine, is considered to be practising the profession of occupational therapist.
Occupational therapists practise their art on medical prescription.
They may prescribe medical devices and technical aids necessary for the practice of their profession, the list of which is set by decree of the ministers responsible for health and social security, after consulting the Académie nationale de médecine, under conditions defined by decree.
They may, unless otherwise indicated by the doctor, renew medical prescriptions for occupational therapy, under conditions laid down by decree.
