OSOT Members' Legal Advisory Plan

As practice environments become more complex and in some cases more litigeous, occupational therapists are advised to build legal consultation into their practice patterns.

OSOT members have access to a Legal Assistance Plan that offers timely, cost-effective access to experienced lawyers. The plan, administered through Sykes Assistance Services Corporation, provides legal assistance to help guide you through a wide range of legal matters.

Pick up the phone and get answers to your questions with no worry about costly legal bills! The toll free number is listed on the back of your membership card.
