That seems bizarre; if that held true for other professions, I wouldn't have
just qualified as an OT.
However, I know there are big issues about how standards are set out; some
professional bodies seem overly prescriptive about how you reach an
outcome, which is indeed against the spirit of the DDA in my opinion. For
my registration I had to show that I had insight into what areas of
practice were inappropriate for me, explain how I met their standards (in a
different way to most people), e.g. the requirement to provide
accurate/contemporaneous/legible etc. notes.
