The Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA) will be delivering therapy sessions, recording the notes of each visit, and following up with their patients. The COTA will be empowered to build their schedule with a supervising OT and maintain it consistently. The COTA will be given the tools (software/programs) to facilitate the secretarial needs of their schedule (i.e., confirming appointments), and will be expected to have computer and smartphone literacy for this reason. Some traveling can be expected, as we also offer services not only at our offices but at daycare centers and schools in the surrounding area. The COTA will meet with their supervising OT at least once a month and work on therapy strategies.
