COTA Jobs in Arizona

A Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA) plays a crucial role in the therapy industry by implementing treatment plans that help individuals recover, improve or maintain the skills required for daily living and working. They work under the direct supervision of an Occupational Therapist and use therapeutic techniques to assist patients in performing activities of all types, ranging from using a computer to caring for daily needs such as dressing, cooking, and eating. A COTA may work with individuals who have physical, mental, or emotional disabilities, helping them develop, recover, and improve the skills needed for daily living.

Important skills for a COTA include excellent communication and interpersonal skills, physical stamina, and patience. They should also have a deep understanding of human anatomy and medical terminologies. For certifications, a COTA must have an associate's degree from an accredited occupational therapy assistant program and must pass the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT) COTA examination to gain certification. Before becoming a COTA, a person may have roles such as a physical therapy aide, a rehabilitation aide, or a direct care staff member in a healthcare facility.
