What is the supervision requirement for a PTLA?

  1. Under indirect supervision of a PT

  2. Under direct and immediate supervision of a PT

  3. No supervision is required

  4. Under supervision of a PTA

The correct answer is: Under direct and immediate supervision of a PT

A PTLA (physical therapist license applicant) is a graduate physical therapist who is seeking licensure and is eligible to take the licensure exam. According to the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), the supervision requirement for a PTLA is that they must be under "direct and immediate supervision of a PT." This means that a licensed physical therapist must directly supervise the PTLA and be immediately available to assist and provide guidance if needed. This is the most appropriate answer because it accurately reflects the standard set by the APTA for supervision of PTLAs. The other options are incorrect because - Option A: Indirect supervision of a PT means that the PT is not directly observing and guiding the PTLA and may not be readily available for assistance. This does not match the APTA's requirement of direct and immediate supervision for PTLAs. - Option C: No
