- Only 5 states require licensure
- According to the Utah Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing, “A license is required to engage in the practice of Recreational Therapy, except as specifically provided in section 58-40-305 or 58-1-307” https://dopl.utah.gov/apps/recreational_thrpst_2014-02-10.pdf
- Three options for licensure with different requirements:
