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.

Hawaii is not a OT Compact member state. You will need to apply for a Hawaii OT license by endorsement, regardless of whether you hold a compact license in another state.
