Source read on November 12, 2026: Oklahoma Administrative Code Title 435, Chapter 30, Occupational Therapists and Assistants (PDF) from the Oklahoma State Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision, section 435:30-1-5. The board’s occupational therapists page was also read for its rules listing.
Cycle
“The occupational therapist and occupational therapy assistant license is required to be renewed yearly on October 31”. The continuing education requirement is counted over two years (paraphrased).
Approved programs
“The Committee will automatically accept programs offered or approved by the American Occupational Therapy Association or the Oklahoma Occupational Therapy Association as proved courses.” Other activities can be reviewed by a sub-committee, and the therapist shows how an activity relates to maintaining OT skills (paraphrased).
Credit
Workshops, seminars, conferences, and approved programs earn “1 point per hour of participation.” In-services are capped at six points per compliance period, and presentations, fieldwork supervision, and publications earn set points (paraphrased).
At renewal
“Therefore, therapists will be asked to provide information about their practice of occupational therapy at the time of renewal.”
Rule changes
The board’s page also lists proposed regulatory text for chapter 435:30 marked “Not yet effective.” This page quotes only the rules file the board lists as current; check the board for changes 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.
