What does the future of COTA's look like? Does it look like a growing or dying position? I've heard that all of OT is going to be swallowed up by Physical therapy let alone the assistants.

I like this OT's perspective on the issue of practice overlap/encroachment. I never heard of OTs merging with PTs.

I know a lot of COTAs and all have jobs in SNF with well paying jobs. Obviously if you really want to differentiate yourself become CHT 🙂
