OT and PT License Board Ohio

Once you've submitted a complete licensure application to the Ohio state board, you can expect:

• Occupational therapist - It takes an average of 3 to 4 weeks to get your Ohio occupational therapy license, but it can take longer if you have to submit paper forms.
• Physician therapist - The state board processes most physical therapy licensure applications within three to four weeks, but it may take three or four months if you reside more than 75 miles from Ohio.

Ohio has a lower-than-average cost of living, and a median wage for occupational and physicial therapists that's almost right on the national average. This means your salary will go farther in Ohio than in costlier states.

While you're working in Ohio, you can check out Amish Country, fish for perch and walleye on Lake Erie or check out state parks like Mohican and Hocking Hills for incredible hiking and camping opportunities.
