Occupational therapists must keep client records for six years or until the client turns 22, whichever is longer. Generally, your records are confidential unless you approve their release. Ask your professional about exceptions to this. If you want a copy of your records, provide your occupational therapist with a written request. You may be charged a reasonable fee to offset the cost of providing copies.
Many occupational therapists participate in health care plans.
