What are part time occupational therapy assistants?

Part time occupational therapy assistants (OTAs) work under the supervision of licensed occupational therapists to help patients develop, recover, and improve the skills needed for daily living and working. Working part time means they typically have flexible hours and may work fewer than 40 hours per week, often in settings such as hospitals, clinics, schools, or nursing facilities. Their duties include assisting with therapy exercises, tracking patient progress, and helping patients use adaptive equipment. Part time OTAs play an essential role in supporting patient care while maintaining a work-life balance.
