Nexus Therapy Management Hiring for Certified Occupational Therapist Assistant (COTA) Full Time

Certified Occupational Therapist Assistant (COTA) Job Description:

On-Site Location: Checotah

Occupational therapy assistants and aides help patients develop, recover, and improve the skills needed for daily living and working. Occupational therapy assistants are directly involved in providing therapy to patients.

Duties
Occupational therapy assistants typically do the following:

Help patients do therapeutic activities, such as stretches and other exercises

Teach patients how to use special equipment; for example, showing a patient with Parkinson’s disease how to use devices that make eating easier
Record patients’ progress, to occupational therapists, and do other administrative tasks

Occupational therapy assistants collaborate with occupational therapists to develop and carry out a treatment plan for each patient. Activities in plans range from teaching the proper way for patients to move from a bed into a wheelchair to the best way to stretch their muscles. For example, an occupational therapy assistant might work with injured workers to help them get back into the workforce by teaching them how to work around lost motor skills.

Assistants monitor activities to make sure patients are doing them correctly. They also encourage the patients. They record the patient’s progress so the therapist can change the treatment plan if the patient is not getting the desired results.
