Occupational Therapy Licensure Compact

The OT Compact allows occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants to practice in member states through a Compact Privilege. The compact is newer, with states continuing to join.

Colorado is a OT Compact member state. If your primary state of residence is also a compact member, you may be able to practice in Colorado under your multistate license or compact privilege without applying for a separate Colorado license.
