Meet the Award Winning Team

Our Rehabilitation Assistants, also known as Occupational Therapy Assistants (OTAs), are wonderful members of the allied health care team who support the delivery of occupational therapy services to clients, families and communities. OTAs work under the direct supervision of Registered Occupational Therapists (OTs) to implement occupational therapy interventions and care plans for our clients. All OTAs on our team are graduates from accredited 2-year diploma programs recognized by the BC College of Occupational Therapists and are specifically trained to work with OTs from an occupational therapy and functional standpoint.

What do OTAs do?

• Work alongside occupational therapists to support clients to engage in therapy that help them obtain their goals

• Employ their diverse skill set and understanding of occupational therapy practice with direct client care

• Deliver OT-related interventions with collaborative input from an OT

• Create the "just right" challenge for clients to experience mastery and motivation in their goals

• Work in broad range of practice areas including public or private, and with diverse client populations

All of our OTAs and team support personnel are essential to our service model of care.
