not that they are the source, but it's good enough for now...
OT isn't mentioned in there.... not suprisingly (a rip that we don't advocate ourselves very well
)
That can be an all encompassing term.
Someone w/ a cert in one of those specialities, can use them within the scope of their particular license, for a particular purpose. I imagine that there are some on that list that aren't practical or legal for a particular discipline to practice in a particuar jusdiction. (i.e. chiropractors can make adjustments to the spine where PT's cannot. OT's cannot do light/heat therapy in NY but can in CT.) It can be a mess of who is lobbying harder, this week.
