RESNA's Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice Course

RESNA’s Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice (COESOP) reflects the commitment of all RESNA members, certificants, and applicants for certification to the high standards of practice and ethics in the assistive technology field. RESNA’s Code and Standards benefits and protects the public, provides practice standards for the assistive technology field, and advances the duty of care for professionals in our industry. Compliance with the Code and Standards is a requirement of initial certification and recertification as it is critical to the integrity of the individuals who hold RESNA Credentials. However, the COESOP applies as well to RESNA members and those applying for certification.
