The titles C.P., C.O. and C.P.O. are indeed owned by ABC and should only
be used by ABC Certified Practitioners. I received many you are
correct replies, but this one sums it up nicely and professionally.
Thank you, Terry. I chose THIS reply and MY words very carefully so as
NOT to start another petty debate. If one is started, I will NOT
participate.
Joan, as part of the 1985 consent decree, BOC agreed not to use CO,
Certified Orthotist, or anything similar in the US or Canada. The use
of BOCO was also challenged by the ABC and the BOC agreed not to use it
either. The person that said that he was a CO by BOC was mistaken or he
is dual accredited. The titles CO, CP, and CPO are the property of the
ABC and can only be used by individual currently accredited by them.
Any other use is a misrepresentation.
Thank you to everyone else who replied.
