I ' <br /> That was fine if they wanted to give her a test. But, they needed to have it in writing <br /> that if they were unable to satisfy the requirement then this was the alternative. <br /> Ms. warden agreed with Ms. Grady. The reflexologist by definition was so Prague <br /> and she couldn't find much of anythingbecause it was so tied in with massage. She. <br /> was completely loss as to where to turn. She even .called the state board of <br /> cosmetology or massage years ago to try to differentiate. She respected what they <br /> were doing and let nye research this further.

He felt that the idea to have the boxes with <br /> the application was a start. Have these folks who wanted to practice needed to define <br /> what their practice was going to be.•If that was acceptable to the board such as the <br /> practice of reflexology, which was described as included in the application. Let thein <br /> describe what they did. If the board approved their definition it would become the <br /> subset of their actual application. <br /> Ms. Grady felt that that was an appropriate recommendation. She asked if they could <br /> continue this agenda item, change the look of the application, place it under the <br /> massage application include the other modalities and have the applicant describe <br /> what the practice entails. <br /> Mr. Harrington suggested that they also include the ability to work under someone <br /> else until they get the amount of applicable hours, such as an internship. <br /> 1 <br />
