OT-specific rankings covering pediatric settings, hand therapy availability, SNF contracts, and OT Compact support. Updated Q2 2025.
🤝 OT travel rankings weight SNF/pediatric contract availability, OT Compact status, and recruiter familiarity with OT practice specifically. COTAs have additional considerations around supervision requirements by state — your agency must understand these.
The OT Compact (OTC) has been enacted in a growing number of states. Confirm your target states are OTC members or budget for individual state licensure. Your agency should have a licensure team familiar with OT-specific requirements.
OT travel pay typically runs $40–$56/hr with tax-free stipends of $800–$1,700/week. School-based OT contracts are often structured differently — ask about hourly vs. salaried structures and per-session pay models.
Supervision requirements for COTAs vary significantly by state. Your agency must understand the specific ratio requirements in your assignment state and confirm the facility has appropriate supervisory structure in place before you sign.
OT settings vary widely: SNF (most volume), outpatient orthopedics, acute care, pediatric outpatient, school districts, hand therapy, and home health. Be specific about your preferred setting when comparing agencies.
