Occupational Therapy Licensure Compact

The OT Compact covers both occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants, allowing practice in member states through a Compact Privilege.

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