1. (1) any experience obtained in New York must be performed by an applicant under a limited permit issued by the department, except the department may, in limited circumstances, accept experience that was not obtained under a limited permit where an applicant demonstrates that such experience was obtained in an authorized setting under a qualified supervisor; and

   (c) Supervision of the experience.

   The experience shall be supervised in accordance with the requirements of this subdivision.

3. (1) An applicant shall obtain experience under this section while under the general supervision of a qualified supervisor. General supervision shall mean that a qualified supervisor shall be available for consultation, assessment and evaluation when professional services are being rendered by an applicant and the supervisor shall exercise the degree of supervision appropriate to the circumstances.
