Working under the supervision of a licensed occupational therapist, occupational therapy assistants help people of all ages acquire, improve, or regain the ability to engage in their daily occupations to lead independent, productive, and satisfying lives. Occupational therapy practitioners work with a diverse population of clients with varying levels of physical, developmental and emotional abilities.\n\nThe Occupational Therapy Assistant curriculum engages the student in academically challenging coursework, which combines biological and behavioral sciences with specific courses in theories of occupational therapy and occupational therapy treatment methods. Students are required to be active and self-directed learners with guidance from the faculty to establish the ability to plan and implement therapeutic treatments, adapt and grade activities to increase their client's independence, and educate individuals and groups in skills and techniques to improve their daily lives.\n\nThe Occupational Therapy Assistant program consists of four full-time semesters and one summer session of academic work. The student will have lecture and discussion-based classes, combined with on campus hands-on learning labs and off campus clinical fieldwork experiences. The OTAP program requires two full-time, eight-week fieldwork placements of supervised practical experience in a variety of healthcare practice settings that must be completed within 18 months of completion of the student's academic preparation.\n\nThe Occupational Therapy Assistant Program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE), c/o Accreditation Department of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), 6116 Executive Boulevard, Suite 200, North Bethesda, MD 20852-4929, (301) 652-6611 and the website is www.acoteonline.org. Graduates of the program are eligible to take the National Board for Certification of Occupational Therapy's (NBCOT) examination to earn certification as an occupational therapy assistant. States also require certified occupational therapy assistants to complete a licensing process to practice in their respective state. A felony conviction may limit an individual's ability to be certified or licensed. Individuals with a felony record should contact the NBCOT to determine eligibility before applying to the program. The contact information is: National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT) located at One Bank Street, Suite 300, Gaithersburg, MD, 20878. NBCOT's phone number is 301-990-7979 and its website is https://www.nbcot.org"},"ceterms:estimatedCost":[{"@type":"ceterms:CostProfile","ceterms:name":{"en-US":"Cost Profile"},"ceterms:price":13134.0,"ceterms:currency":"USD","ceterms:costDetails":"https://www.zanestate.edu/occupational-therapy-assistant/","ceterms:description":{"en-US":"Cost include Tuiton and Fee's"},"ceterms:directCostType":{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/CostType","ceterms:targetNode":"costType:Tuition","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Cost Type"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Tuition"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Cost for teaching and instruction."}}}],"ceterms:occupationType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://www.onetcenter.org/taxonomy.html","ceterms:targetNode":"https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/25-1071.00","ceterms:codedNotation":"25-1071.00","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Standard Occupational Classification"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Health Specialties Teachers, Postsecondary"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Teach courses in health specialties, in fields such as dentistry, laboratory technology, medicine, pharmacy, public health, therapy, and veterinary medicine."}},{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://www.onetcenter.org/taxonomy.html","ceterms:targetNode":"https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/31-2011.00","ceterms:codedNotation":"31-2011.00","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Standard Occupational Classification"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Occupational Therapy Assistants"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Assist occupational therapists in providing occupational therapy treatments and procedures.
