Imagine your future

 

The Occupational Therapy Assistant Program
prepares the student for employment as an occupational therapy assistant. Occupational therapy assistants work with people of all ages who, because of physical, cognitive, developmental, social, or emotional problems, need specialized assistance in order to lead an independent, productive, and satisfying life.

 

Why choose Occupational Therapy Assistant (OTA)?
Creative people who enjoy working in the medical profession are often drawn to OTA; many of our students have backgrounds in psychology or the arts. If you’re flexible and enjoy helping others, a 2-year Associate degree in occupational therapy may be just the career you’re seeking.
