Monitoring Progress: Regularly evaluate and document patient progress, adjusting therapy plans and goals as necessary.

Certification (NBCOT): Occupational therapists are required to pass the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT) exam. Once certified, they can apply for licensure in any state.
State Licensure: All 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories require occupational therapists to hold a valid state license to practice. Each state has its own licensing board that sets specific requirements, including continuing education for license renewal.
Some states may have additional regulations, such as:
Reciprocity agreements with other states allowing easier transfer of licenses.
Continuing education requirements to maintain licensure.
Criminal background checks for licensure approval.
States with Specific Certification or Additional Requirements:
California: Requires passing a state exam in addition to the NBCOT exam.
Texas: Requires licensure from the Texas Board of Occupational Therapy Examiners.
Florida: Requires passing a state law exam.
It is important for occupational therapists to review the specific licensing requirements for the state in which they wish to practice.
