Approval for Occupational Therapies in Oklahoma

Occupational Therapists and Occupational Therapist Assistants must obtain twenty (20) hours of approved continuing education every two (2) years (i.e. from November 1, 2014 to October 31, 2016, etc.). No professional development hours may be carried over from one compliance period to another.

Per the Board: A Sub-Committee composed of Occupational Therapists and Occupational Therapist Assistants may review all CE hours submitted and has the authority to decide on any type of program not listed and assign appropriate hours. Should any individual therapist have questions as to the appropriateness of a program, the therapist could consult the Committee. The responsibility for showing how a particular activity is relevant to maintaining skills as an Occupational Therapist or Occupational Therapy Assistant will be with the therapist applying for approval. The Committee will automatically accept programs offered or approved by the American Occupational Therapy Association or the Oklahoma Occupational Therapy Association as approved courses.
