School-Based Occupational Therapy Job Requirements
To apply for occupational therapist jobs in schools, including part-time and virtual occupational therapy jobs, you will need to receive a bachelor’s degree, a master’s degree, and licensure to work in your state. Taking and passing the National Board for Certification of Occupational Therapists (NBCOT) is the first step you must take to become licensed.
To apply for COTA jobs, you will need to receive an associate degree from an accredited program before taking the NBCOT exam. After receiving licensure from the state, you can apply for school occupational therapy assistant jobs and practice inside schools with a therapist present.
Part-Time and Remote Occupational Therapy Jobs
Because occupational therapists are in high demand in schools nationwide, part-time and online occupational therapy jobs have become an increasingly popular solution to help fill schools with essential professionals without requiring them to commit to full-time or in-person work.
The job functions of part-time OT jobs and part-time COTA jobs are similar to those of their full-time counterparts. Both full-time and part-time OTs assess students’ needs, develop and implement individualized therapy plans, collaborate with teachers and other school staff, and monitor progress.
The most significant difference between full-time and part-time occupational therapist jobs is the number of working hours. In addition, occupational therapist part-time jobs typically require smaller caseloads.
Remote occupational therapist jobs also have the same core responsibilities as in-person positions; however, remote occupational therapists utilize telehealth platforms to conduct sessions virtually, relying on video calls and digital tools for assessments and interventions.
