[QUOTE="totoro, post: 194540, member: 3155"] My sister in law is an COTA (certified occupational therapist asst) she works with special needs kids in the school in Indiana. She loves it! It was about 16 months. I went to school for PT I have my Asst degree and went on to get my PT license... but I had K. PT and Occupational Therapist (OT) are both very involved, as far as schooling. I had to have a lot of volunteer hours prior to being accepted. It also requires a lot of Internships once you are in school. I worked all night bartending so I could drive 2-3 hours one way and do an internship for 6-8 weeks. I had 4 of these. But I worked next to other OTA's when I was working with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)'s and Spinal Cord injuries... we had so much fun and it was something I think I could have enjoyed for a career. Obviously not doing it now! All of my friends who are OTA's, Occupational Therapist (OT)'s, PT's and PTA'a love their work. I have some friends who do all back in Idaho. Lots of sports injuries.
