A Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA) plays a crucial role in the rehabilitation and care of patients with various physical, mental, or emotional conditions. The primary goal of a COTA is to assist individuals in developing, recovering, improving, and maintaining the skills needed for daily living and working. Here is a description of the key responsibilities of a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant:

Patient Care Execution: Under the supervision of an occupational therapist, a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant is responsible for executing the therapeutic plans designed to help patients. This includes teaching patients how to use adaptive equipment, guiding them through exercises, and engaging them in activities that are crucial to their recovery and improvement.
Activity and Program Planning: A Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant contributes to the planning and selection of therapeutic activities tailored to the individual needs and interests of each patient. This involves understanding the therapeutic goals set by the occupational therapist and applying creative and practical approaches to meet those objectives.
Progress Monitoring: Regularly monitoring and documenting the progress of patients is a key responsibility. The Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant must observe changes in the patient's performance and behavior, report these observations to the occupational therapist, and adjust the therapy interventions accordingly to ensure continuous improvement.
Patient and Family Education: Educating patients and their families about the therapy process, the use of adaptive equipment, and home modifications is another important duty. The Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant provides clear instructions and support to ensure that therapeutic practices are continued at home, which is vital for the patient's long-term recovery and independence.
