Occupational Therapist at COT - Occupational Therapist Chicago Occupational Therapy Employee Review

Working at COT was the best career decision that I have made. I worked here for 4 years and if I wasn't relocating out of state, I would never have left. The culture and community at COT is incredible. There is always opportunity for growth. The mentorship program for new graduates is outstanding. While this job can be hard work, it is incredibly gratifying!

No cons - I loved this company!

As an Occupational Therapy Practice Associate (OTPA), I learned a tremendous amount of information about the field through my experiences working here! OTPAs have a pretty cool privilege of being able to shadow Occupational Therapists during their sessions to get a first-look understanding of what pediatric OT is. We were invited to ask questions, share our opinions, and even participate in the session with the client! Chicago Occupational Therapy emphasizes educating and supporting OTPAs on their journey into becoming future occupational therapists. Shelly, one of the head OTs, led an OTPA group which included monthly meetings that aided our OT learning and school application process. COT is incredible at letting OTPAs have a lot of responsibilities to promote learning and self-efficacy. Responsibilities I personally had were, implementing OT practices in CSTA classrooms, organizing the gross motor room, and leading the social media page. As an aspiring OT, I believe that COT provided me with advantageous knowledge to begin my journey into the field!

No cons! I loved working here!
