Market context
In Kentucky, Occupational Therapist openings typically draw steady demand in schools, rehab settings, and community services, especially for candidates who are already licensed and can start with minimal onboarding. These roles are competitive because employers often prefer applicants with neuro-rehabilitation experience, AOTA membership, and a background in human services.
