Occupational Therapy Assistant, A.S. (Limited Access Program)
Who We Are
The Occupational Therapy Assistant Program has been active since 1994 at Daytona State College. At that time, a group of local OT practitioners determined that there was a need for OT Assistants in the area and participated in the development of the program. We contribute to the OT workforce in Volusia and Flagler County, as well as several surrounding counties.
We offer an Associate of Science degree after completion of a 22-month, 74 credit-hour program. Our program is a limited access program, with specific admission criteria. For additional information about our program, please see the attached links.
