OT Licensure Compact
The Vermont Occupational Therapy Association received word from our compact bill sponsor and fellow Occupational Therapist, Mary-Katherine Stone, that H.247 was signed by the governor!
Vermont will be the 29th state to enact the OT Licensure Compact. Thank you to Representative Stone and to the American Occupational Therapy Association for their support, and to our dedicated members who advocated for this bill. We are excited to see this legislation improve occupational therapy practice in our state.
