A travel OT in Illinois earns a median of $2,280 per week on current ProTherapy assignments, with individual contracts ranging from $2,130 to $2,280. That median is drawn from 21 open travel OT assignments in Illinois as of 2026-10-05.
Medians for the other disciplines with enough Illinois openings to report one: travel PT $2,280 (from 15 openings); travel PTA $1,400 (from 12 openings); travel COTA $1,460 (from 8 openings). Each figure covers only that discipline — travel therapy pay differs enough between PT, PTA, OT, COTA and SLP that a single blended number would not describe any of them.
Too few current Illinois openings to publish a median for: travel SLP 3 ($2,130–$2,280). 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 Illinois market, and they move as contracts fill. Updated 2026-10-05.
