CPT® 97532, 97533, 96116, 97510

Iā€™m wondering if you could help me please.

Can a pediatrician bill as a supervising provider when a staff is providing the cognitive service for the autistic/attention deficit, visual/sensory/auditory disorder, etc kids ā€“ using computers as the therapy tool?
The pediatrician is in the office while the service is being provided.
The staff is not a therapist but a credentialed teacher.

Provider is to bill for CPT® 97532 (?)
If this is the CPT® code to use for the 2-hour duration, is this the only code to use on a group session for 2 -3 kids per session?
When can the 97533, 96116 or 97150 be used?
Or are these the right codes to use?

Your thoughts?
Please kindly advise.
Thank you ā€“ your help is greatly appreciated.
