Occupational Therapist Assistant Jobs in New Hampshire

An Occupational Therapist Assistant (OTA) plays a crucial role in the therapy industry by providing support to occupational therapists in implementing treatment plans for patients. They help patients with disabilities, injuries, or illnesses improve their ability to perform daily activities. OTAs often take on the hands-on tasks of therapy sessions, instructing and aiding patients in exercises and activities, monitoring progress, and documenting patient responses. They also assist in preparing treatment areas and equipment. Essential skills for this role include excellent communication and interpersonal skills, a compassionate and patient-centered approach, and good physical strength and dexterity to assist patients.

Before becoming an OTA, a person may hold roles such as a Rehabilitation Aide, Physical Therapist Assistant, or Certified Nursing Assistant to gain relevant experience. In terms of qualification, becoming an OTA requires completion of an associate's degree from an accredited occupational therapy assistant program and a state license, which involves passing the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT) exam. Furthermore, OTAs may pursue additional certifications in specialized areas like pediatrics, mental health, or physical rehabilitation to advance their career.
