Step 1: Look up your OT/OTA license.
To begin the process, I always double-check that my license is displaying correctly. You can look up your Oklahoma occupational therapist or occupational therapy assistant license here.
Step 2: Confirm the Oklahoma OT continuing education requirements.
It’s always good to double check for any updates to your 2025 licensing cycle. (One year, I completed ALL of my state of Nebraska requirements only to find out that they were waived due to COVID. 😭)
But, to get you going here is the information I found, with links to where I found it.

Here are the specific occupational therapy continuing education requirements for coursework in Oklahoma:
These were copied from the OKLAHOMA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE, which was updated Sept. 11, 2020.
435:30-1-5. License renewal; late fees; continuing education; re-entry guidelines
(b) Continuing education for renewal.
(1) Continuing education for renewal of licensure has been established to require therapists’ involvement in activities which keep their skills and knowledge of current practice up to date. A point is the equivalent of 1 contact hour. Twenty contact hours every 2 years will be required.
(2) A Sub-Committee, composed of Occupational Therapists and Occupational Therapy Assistants, may review all points submitted. The Sub-Committee will forward recommendations to the Occupational Therapy Advisory Committee for approval or denial. Reasons for denial will be given to each therapist. Should any individual therapist have questions as to the appropriateness of a program, the therapist could consult the Committee. The Committee would have the authority to decide on any type of program not listed and assign appropriate hours. 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 proved courses.
(3) The Committee recognizes the role that ongoing practice plays in maintaining competence as an Occupational Therapist or Occupational Therapy Assistant. Continuing education requirements are designed to update knowledge and skills. Synthesis takes place when the therapist has the opportunity to apply this knowledge and these skills to their practice. Therefore, therapists will be asked to provide information about their practice of occupational therapy at the time of renewal.
(4) Traditional method of points/value/documentation:
(A) Traditional methods of points:
(i) Workshops
(ii) Inservices (6 point maximum per compliance period)
(iii) Seminars
(iv) Conferences
(v) Programs offered by or approved by the American Occupational Therapy Association or the Oklahoma Occupational Therapy Association or the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy
(vi) Programs at Special Interest Section meetings
(vii) Occupational Therapy Education Council of Oklahoma workshops (points as assigned on request from Committee)
(B) Assigned Value: 1 point per hour of participation.
(C) Documentation: Verification of attendance and copies of supporting documentation such as program brochure, syllabus, etc. If unable to verify attendance, use Form B Verification of Conference Attendance, attach a copy of receipt for conference fee and statement of relevancy to practice of Occupational Therapy if not obvious from the program materials.
