Certified Occupational Therapist Assistant Schools

Occupational therapy helps rehabilitate patients suffering from physical, mental, and developmental impairments. An assistant works under an occupational therapist to aid in treatment, working directly with the patient to supervise the activities and exercises in the treatment plan and record progress. Prospective assistants must attend a school accredited by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE), then take the certifying exam. The median salary for an occupational therapist assistant is $48,230, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
