Occupational Therapy Assistant

If you’re looking for a career that allows you to work directly with people to increase their quality of life, consider training as an occupational therapy assistant. Occupational therapy assistants are skilled health care workers who provide direct patient care under the supervision of an occupational therapist.

The highly experienced instructors in our Occupational Therapy Assistant program will train you to provide rehabilitative services to people of all ages. You’ll learn to work with patients who have physical, psychosocial, or developmental impairments and help them regain their independence and the ability to participate in daily activities.

After graduating, you’ll be eligible to take the National Occupational Therapy Certification Examination and earn your state license as an occupational therapy assistant. Open occupational therapy assistant jobs are on the rise, and employment opportunities can be found in rehabilitation centers, home health agencies, schools, nursing facilities, hospitals, outpatient clinics, and more.
