The Occupational Therapy Assistant program at Concorde Career Colleges provides the education and training you need to become a professional in this growing healthcare field. Occupational therapy practitioners work with clients of all ages and diagnoses. The goal of occupational therapy intervention is to increase the ability of the client to participate in everyday activities, including feeding, dressing, bathing, leisure, work, education, and social participation. The occupational therapy practitioner interacts with a client to assess existing performance, set therapeutic goals, develop a plan, and implement intervention to enable the client to function better in his or her world. Occupational Therapy Assistant graduates from an educational program accredited by the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) are eligible to sit for the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT) OTA certification exam. Successful completion of the NBCOT examination for the Occupational Therapy Assistant entitles the graduate to practice as a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA). Licensure is required within the state where the COTA will practice. At Concorde Career Colleges, our objective is to provide you with the medical education and training necessary for you to graduate with the ability to achieve professional success in this exciting healthcare field. Our program is designed to provide you with the skills needed to obtain a rewarding and fulfilling career.
