Occupational Therapy Assistants

Occupational therapy assistants work directly with patients to help them develop, recover, or maintain the skills needed for daily living and working. They implement treatment plans designed by occupational therapists, guiding patients through therapeutic activities and exercises tailored to their specific needs. Whether helping a stroke survivor relearn how to dress independently, assisting a child with developmental delays to improve handwriting skills, or teaching an elderly patient adaptive techniques for cooking safely, these professionals provide hands-on support during rehabilitation sessions.
