What are the steps to start a career as an OTA, and are there programs (preferably online or hybrid) that would allow me to work while studying?

Hi, I recently graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Human Development and Family Studies with a minor in Public Health, and I’m interested in becoming an Occupational Therapist Assistant (OTA). I originally wanted to pursue a master’s in Occupational Therapy, but I need to work and am looking for a more flexible or online-friendly path. What are the steps to start a career as an OTA, and are there programs (preferably online or hybrid) that would allow me to work while studying? Also, how can I gain experience or observation hours in the meantime?

What Bachelor's degree would best prepare me for an Occupational Therapy Master's program ? #Fall25

I am leaning towards Exercise Science so I can learn how the body works. I loved working with an exceptional education student at the elementary school I was tutoring and how occupational therapy helped him. My plan is to choose wisely a major that supports the Occupational Therapist I want to be!

How do you keep your motivation as you work to earn your major and/or masters degree?

I will be getting an undergrad in kinesiology and my masters in occupational therapy, but I am worried that I will lose motivation to complete it as it is takes around six years to complete.

What are the best ways to prepare for a career as an occupational therapist?

I'm interesting in seeing what OTs did to prepare for their careers. Observations? Internships? Research? Volunteering? #occupationaltherapy #careeradvice #OT #occupational-therapist
