Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant

Helping children build skills for independence, our Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants bring energy, creativity, and compassion to every session—supporting growth through play, practice, and family partnership.

Supporting Growth, Building Independence

At Easterseals South Carolina, our Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants (COTAs) work alongside licensed Occupational Therapists to help children reach their developmental milestones. Using play-based, family-centered approaches, COTAs empower children to practice everyday skills that build confidence and independence.

What COTAs Do

  • Deliver hands-on therapy services designed by an Occupational Therapist.
  • Support children in building fine motor skills, sensory processing, and self-care abilities.
  • Encourage growth through fun, meaningful activities that fit naturally into daily routines.
  • Partner with families to model strategies and provide ongoing encouragement.

Why It Matters

COTAs play an essential role in helping children thrive in their homes, schools, and communities. Their compassion, creativity, and dedication make therapy engaging and effective—helping every child move closer to independence.
