Occupational Therapy Assistant - Lake Washington Technical College

Occupational Therapy Assistant from Lake Washington Technical College is a Campus Associate Occupational Therapy degree that prepares you for a Healthcare career. Occupational therapy assistants (OTAs) provide occupational therapy services with the direction and supervision of an occupational therapist . Graduates of the OTA Program will work in a variety of settings including hospitals, private practices, outpatient clinics, clients' homes, long term care facilities, retirement communities, assisted living facilities, school systems, and mental health centers. Graduates of the OTA Program will be able to teach patients or clients to manage basic activities of daily living, such as dressing and grooming; teach exercise and purposeful activities to increase coordination, strength, and work tolerance; and assist the occupational therapist with assessments of patient function. One of the main tenets of occupational therapy is the belief that purposeful and meaningful activity, guided by the OT Clinician, with the participation of the client, is transformative.
