答案是 A
以下為來源:
The overlapping employment and association roles of Col. Ruth A. Robinson,
Marion W. Crampton, Mildred Shwagmeyer, and Ruth Brunyate Wiemer were
fortuitous to the development of the COTA. Each of these women had a
long-standing interest in the use of supportive OT personnel, and all but
Wiemer were members of the Committee on Occupational Therapy Assistants. This
committee was delegated responsibility for all developmental aspects of the
OTA, including needs assessment, educational program standards, new program
proposal and on-site review, and program approval.
Col. Ruth A. Robinson was the president of AOTA from 1955 to 1958. About the
same time, she became Chief of the Occupational Therapy Section of the
Women's Medical Specialist Corps, and then the first Chief of the Women's
Medical Specialist Corps. Both her military and association roles involved
advocacy for the training of supportive OT personnel.
In a video interview taped a few years before her death in 1989, Robinson
stated that she thought her greatest contribution to the OT profession was
the development of the program and curriculum to train the OTAs. She also
stated:
We may not realize how far advanced the OT profession was. We set a
standard for other professions to follow. At first our program concentrated
on the care of the psychiatric patient, just as in the early days of OT. It
was frightening to some of us who felt we were not far enough advanced
ourselves or secure in our own identities to be able to accept the
responsibility of supervising others. We still have a long way to go. I
thought the COTA ultimately would be what we thought of then as the OT, and
that the COTA would be the best job in OT, leaving the OTR to do the intake
work and program planning for individual patients. Recognition of the COTA
through certification made me the proudest.
