What do Occupational Therapy Assistants do?
An occupational therapy assistant is a person who has graduated from an occupational therapy assistant program accredited by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) or predecessor organizations, has completed a period of supervised fieldwork experience required by the accredited occupational therapy assistant program, has passed a nationally recognized entry-level examination for occupational therapy assistants, and fulfills state requirements for licensure, certification, or registration.
An occupational therapy assistant provides interventions under the supervision of an occupational therapist, emphasizing the therapeutic use of everyday life activities (i.e., occupations) with individuals or groups to facilitate participation in roles and situations at home, school, work, in the community, and in other settings.
Occupational therapy services are provided to promote health and wellness for those who have or are at risk of developing an illness, injury, disease, disorder, condition, impairment, disability, activity limitation, or participation restriction.
Occupational therapy assistants address the physical, cognitive, psychosocial, sensory, and other aspects of occupational performance in a variety of contexts to support engagement in everyday life activities that affect health, well-being, and quality of life.
