Licensed Texas OTs
The Texas Board of Occupational Therapy Examiners requires all licensees to complete 30 contact hours of continuing education every two years to maintain professional licensure, with a minimum of 15 hours in Type 2.
CE Type 1-Topics are relevant to occupational therapy, but general enough in nature that other professionals might also benefit from it; not usually a course involving learning a new method, technique or modality.
CE Type 2-Topics are specific to the practice of occupational therapy with patients or clients. A minimum of 15 hours are required for renewal, but all CE may be in Type 2.
The attached listing of all Conference sessions have annotated whether they are Type 1 or Type 2. Texas licensees are encouraged to review the information at the Executive Council of Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy Examiners website.
