Too few current Arkansas openings to publish a median for: travel COTA 3 ($1,460–$1,460); travel OT 2 ($2,340–$2,430); travel SLP 2 ($2,130–$2,130). Those are advertised ranges across a handful of assignments, not averages.
All figures are advertised weekly gross pay on ProTherapy travel contracts — the rate before taxes, inclusive of any housing and meal stipends in the package. They describe ProTherapy’s own open assignments, not a survey of the whole Arkansas market, and they move as contracts fill. Updated 2026-10-05.
