Occupational Therapy Assistants
Our Occupational Therapy Assistant’s (OTA) work under the guidance of our Therapist’s and provide focused sessions to help reinforce and practice therapy goals. OTA sessions are designed to compliment sessions with a Therapist, and can be a fantastic way to boost progress by increasing therapy frequency, supporting skill development between regular OT sessions.
Our OTA’s are typically University Students completing their Bachelor’s Degree in Occupational Therapy. Please get in touch if you’d like to learn more about how our OTA’s can support you in achieving your goals.
