Delaware OT and OTA license renewal and continuing education
Delaware’s Board of Occupational Therapy Practice states: “Active Occupational Therapy (OT) and Occupational Therapy Associate (OTA) Professionals must complete 24 hours of approved CE during each full licensure renewal period, which is between August 1 to July 31 even-numbered years”.

Sources read on November 12, 2026: the board’s Continuing Education and Audit Information and License Renewal pages on the Division of Professional Regulation site.
Cycle
“Occupational Therapy licenses expire on July 31 of even-numbered years”. Renewal is online in DELPROS, and notices go by email only (paraphrased).
First renewal
CE is prorated at a first renewal, from 24 hours down to none, depending on when in the period the license was issued (paraphrased). The board’s CE page lists the cut-off dates.
What counts
“Any continuing education that is sponsored or approved by the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT), American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), or offered by AOTA-approved providers are automatically approved, subject to the maximum mentioned above.” You enter CE in the DELPROS CE Tracker and upload certificates only if selected for audit (paraphrased).
Required topics
None named. The official source this page quotes sets the CE hours but does not name a required topic (read November 12, 2026). Other state laws can still apply, so confirm with the board before you renew.

What this page does not do
It covers the state occupational therapy license only, and only what the official page or pages named above say. It does not cover NBCOT certification renewal, does not list fees, and does not replace the board’s own instructions. Rules change; check the board before you renew.
