About Travel Therapy Licensure
Travel Therapy Licensure is a guide to getting licensed in another state as a travel PT, PTA, OT, COTA or SLP, published by a travel therapy agency. It is general guidance, not a licensing board or legal advice, and its board, compact and fee details are taken from the boards' and commissions' own pages with the date they were checked.
What is Travel Therapy Licensure?
It covers what a therapist or assistant needs to practice in a state where they are not yet licensed: a page for the District and for every state, with its licensing boards, compact status and traveler notes; guides to the PT Compact, the OT Compact and the ASLP-IC; a page per discipline on the national exam or certification behind each license; and guides to the rules that catch travelers out, such as changing your home state, practicing before a license is issued and supervision for assistants. The Compact Eligibility Checker takes your home state and your destination and shows whether a privilege is available.
The start here page suggests an order to read them in. This page is about who publishes the site and how its facts are checked.
Who publishes this site?
Travel Therapy Licensure is published by ProTherapy Staffing, a travel therapy agency that is PT-owned and operated since 2012. The licensing-help forms on the site send your question to its recruiters, and the open contracts listed on a state page come from the publisher’s job feed.
That is the publisher’s interest, stated plainly: it places travelers, and licensing decides where they can go. So the licensing facts are kept to the boards’ and commissions’ own pages, and the pages say which source each fact came from.
What is this site not?
- Not a licensing board. It issues no license or privilege and files no application. The board or the compact commission does that, and its own site has the final word.
- Not legal advice. The footer says so on every page: the information is for general guidance, and you should verify current requirements with the state licensing board.
- Not a list of application fees or processing times. Boards set and change both, so the state pages send you to each board’s current fee schedule and processing times instead of a typed figure. The compact privilege fees shown are the commission’s published amounts.
- No ads or sponsored listings. There are none on the site. The only promotion on it is the publisher’s own: its banner, its forms and the contracts from its job feed.
Where do the board and compact facts come from?
- PT Compact status and the privilege fee for each state come from the PT Compact Commission’s own pages.
- OT Compact status comes from CompactConnect’s live list, the system that issues the privileges, checked against the OT Compact Commission, and ASLP-IC status comes from CompactConnect and the ASLP-IC Commission.
- Each state’s physical therapy board is named from FSBPT’s directory of licensing authorities, every board named on a state page was read on its own site, and the continuing competence and endorsement lines for PTs quote FSBPT’s Licensure Reference Guide.
- Where a commission’s own pages disagree about a state, the page says so and states no status for that state.
How are the dates and documents checked?
A sourced line carries the date it was checked, and each state page opens with the range of dates its sourced values were checked. Those lines are rendered from data files that record each source and its date, so a fact and its date are updated together. The guides to changing your home state and to the home-state audit quote every statement from its source, linked and dated, and give the date their sources were last checked.
A guide that read only some boards says so and states nothing about the others: the temporary license guide quotes the boards it read and leaves every other state to its board. The District’s page lists the documents behind every figure on it, and nothing on it is estimated.
If you want a contract planned around the licenses you hold and the ones you could add, ask a ProTherapy recruiter: Find my next contract.
How do you contact the publisher?
Call or text the business line shown on the publisher’s contact page. A text there starts a conversation with a recruiter, so say what you need: which states you hold, which you are weighing, and whether you have a contract in view.
If a board or commission now says something different from a page here, name the state, the page and the source. In the meantime, the board’s own site is the place to confirm it. The licensing-help form on each state page takes the same question in writing.
Frequently asked questions
Can this site tell me whether I qualify for a license?
No. It explains the routes and shows what the boards and commissions publish, but only the board or the compact commission decides an application. Check your route with them before you plan a contract around it.
Why does a state page send me to the board for fees and processing times?
Because boards set and change their own application fees and processing times. Each page links the board's current figures rather than a typed number that could go stale.
How do I know when a fact on a state page was checked?
Sourced lines carry the date they were checked, and the top of each state page gives the range of dates for the sourced values on it.
