Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA) – Clinic
Join our dedicated team in Greensboro, AL as a passionate pediatric therapy support expert. Collaborate with a licensed occupational therapist to nurture children’s growth and development in an engaging outpatient setting. Here, you will empower infants to school-aged kids through targeted interventions, addressing fine motor skills, sensory processing, visual-motor integration, and self-care routines essential for their daily activities.
**Core Responsibilities**
**Therapeutic Implementation:** Deliver specialized pediatric interventions to drive motor skill enhancement and foster independence based on each child’s care plan.
**Skill Enrichment in Play-Based Settings:** Employ clinic facilities and sensory areas to boost functional skills in grasping, tool use (writing, cutting, eating), sensory processing, and gross motor abilities.
**Collaborative Engagement:** Partner with families, caregivers, and interdisciplinary professionals like speech and physical therapists to provide comprehensive home programs, sensory strategies, and adaptive solutions.
**Documentation and Review:** Track and document progress towards goals, assist in session notes, and support the supervising therapist during routine re-evaluations and care plan revisions.
**Resource and Environment Management:** Handle and adjust clinic resources such as therapy swings, sensory aids, and adaptive tools to facilitate personalized treatment plans.
**Family Collaboration and Instruction:** Maintain open communication channels with families, offering insights into therapeutic exercises and providing useful strategies for home implementation.
**Qualifications**
– Diploma from an accredited Occupational Therapy Assistant program.
– Active or eligible COTA licensure from the Alabama State Board of Occupational Therapy.
– Valid NBCOT certification along with Pediatric CPR/First Aid credentials.
– Experience in pediatric clinical settings or early intervention is an advantage.
– Strong interpersonal skills, adaptability, and a knack for innovative, play-based problem-solving aligned with child developmental milestones.
**Why This Role Stands Out:** By joining our team, you will directly influence young children’s growth and success, ensuring their readiness for future challenges in nurturing, supportive surroundings.
