Occupational Therapist Jobs

A certified occupational therapy assistant is an allied health professional who specializes in assisting patients with injuries, illnesses, or disabilities that impact their abilities to perform daily living or work activities. They work under the guidance of an occupational therapist to help patients recover, develop, improve, and maintain the skills they need to function during everyday routines. Employment of COTAs is projected to grow 35% between 2019 and 2029, primarily due to a growing elderly population and the continued need to treat children and young adults with developmental disabilities.
