Question: occupational therapy assistants???? i've searched the salary of a occupational therapist and a occupational therapy assistant....but researching on the internet doesn't always mean....that's the salary the average therapist or assistant make.\ni know from experience cause of the career i have now.  you search one thing and you hear this and when you are actually living it...you don't nearly get paid as much as you thought!\ni was wondering if anyone knows or is an certified occupational therapy assistant and knows exactly how much they really do make??

Answer: I am an OT.  The nursing home I work at is desperate for OTs!  I make $45 an hour and the COTA makes $29 an hour.  THis is pretty high for both jobs in the Virginia (Fredericksburg) area.
