School-based Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants (COTAs) play a valuable role in helping students develop the functional skills needed to participate fully in their school day. Working under the supervision of an Occupational Therapist, COTA’s support students with fine motor skills, sensory processing, daily living tasks, and classroom participation. Through hands-on interventions and consistent support, they help students build independence and improve their ability to engage in academic and social activities.
At Onward Education, we support COTA’s by connecting them with Chicago-area schools that recognize the important impact they have on student development and success. Our team takes the time to understand each professional’s experience, certifications, and career goals so we can align them with opportunities that match their strengths.
