In order to gain a successful, satisfying career, it is necessary to have a high quality education. If you are seeking a career that fulfills your interests and fills your pockets, consider becoming a student at Nashville State Tech. By integrating the latest tech-nological advancements into a broad range of comprehensive programs in business, computer, communications, allied health, and engineering technologies, we prepare students for immediate employment or career advancement. Students will get hands-on training by instructors who are knowledgeable and in tune with what is going on in the real world.
The Occupational Therapy Assistant Technology program trains students to provide services to individuals whose abilities to cope with tasks of living are threatened or impaired by
developmental delays, the aging process, poverty and cultural differences, physical injury or illness, or psychological and social disability. The OTA program is accredited by the Accreditation Council of Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) at 4720 Montgomery Lane (P.O. Box 31220) Bethesda, MD 20824-1220, telephone number 301-652-2682.
Upon completion of the academic curriculum and receiving a satisfactory rating on the OTA
Professional Behavior Scale, students will become candidates for fieldwork. Students will participate in supervised clinical training for a minimum of 16 weeks. (This training may be in a location outside of the Middle Tennessee area, which will require relocating for 8 or 16 weeks.) After meeting all program requirements, graduates can take the certification examination administered by the National Board of Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT). After successful completion of this exam, the individual will be a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA). Licensure by the Tennessee State Board of Occupational Therapy Examiners is required in order to practice in Tennessee. Under the supervision of a
registered occupational therapist, certified assistants will implement restorative, preventive, and maintenance programs with specific goals of helping people of all ages prevent, lessen, or overcome disabling conditions.
Due to limited enrollment, students should request admission early. Contact the OTA Department concerning application and admission procedures.
This information and required forms are included in the OTA Admission Packet available in the
Admissions, Student Services, Occupational Therapy departments or online at
www.NashvilleStateTech.org/occuther. In addition to college entrance requirements, the Occupational Therapy Assistant Technology program requires the following:
1. OTA application must be on file in the OTA Department. Transcripts and ACT Compass assessment scores must be on file prior to being considered for admission into the program.
2. Students accepted in the OTA program must purchase professional liability insurance and have health insurance.
3. Interested applicants must participate in interview activities.
4. Completion of Orientation to Occupational Therapy, OT 1100, or proof of clinical observation visits must be on file in the OTA office. Forms are in the OTA Admission Packet.
5. Acceptance is based on grade average and interviews. Additional points are given on acceptance criteria to Tennessee residents.
Students will be responsible for travel costs, parking fees, special projects, orientation workshop,
professional and health insurance, and relocation expenses during fieldwork.
Note: The primary purpose of this degree is to prepare students for employment immediately following graduation from Nashville State Tech.
Students considering advanced degrees in OT may wish to consult with an OT advisor early on in their program.
