What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant?

To thrive as a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA), you need an associate degree from an accredited occupational therapy assistant program and must pass the NBCOT exam for certification. Familiarity with therapy documentation software, adaptive equipment, and rehabilitation tools is typically required.

These competencies are crucial for delivering effective therapy, supporting occupational therapists, and ensuring positive patient outcomes.
