material facts;
(b) Unprofessional conduct as defined by administrative regulations promulgated
by the board, or violating the code of ethics promulgated by the board;
(c) Being convicted of a felony in any court if the act or acts for which he was

should be entrusted to serve the public in the capacity of a licensed
occupational therapist or licensed occupational therapy assistant;
(d) Violating any lawful order or administrative regulation rendered or
