Description:
Preparing for the Occupational Therapy Assistant Board Exam: 45 Days and Counting provides a comprehensive overview for occupational therapy assistant students preparing to take the Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA) exam. It utilizes a well-received health and wellness focus and includes tips and self-assessment forms to develop health study habits. Unlike other OTA exam review guides, Preparing for the Occupational Therapy Assistant National Board Exam: 45 Days and Counting chooses to provide a more organized, methodological approach including a detailed calendar and plan of study for the 45 days leading up to the exam. This First Edition incorporates chapter outlines on subject matter students have learned throughout their occupational therapy assistant curricula. These curricula draw from a lexicon taken from the Occupational Therapy Framework III (AOTA, 2014), so the language is consistent between the book and the students’ academic experience. Each chapter in this First Edition is divided into subjects and each subject will address the three domain areas according to the NBCOT examination. Additionally, workbook pages throughout each chapter include specific references used in occupational therapy assistant curricula throughout the United States enabling additional exploration of content that is challenging or unfamiliar or both. This First Edition breaks down subject matter into smaller chapters with content filled in, providing students with a full outline with completed notes, in addition to self-study activities and answers at the end of each chapter. A journaling section includes 3-4 questions with a reflective learning approach used in service learning, where students will learn individual areas to focus on and prioritize. Test taking strategies, meaningful activities to do prior to, and directly after the exam, will also be presented. A unique section of the review guide includes a section with information on what to do if a repeat examination is necessary along with advice from a previous student that outlines their experience and advice. The editors of this edition have the experience and credentials needed to ensure a structured, organized, and effective approach to review a large amount of material in a reasonable amount of time Dr. Rosanne DiZazzo-Miller has been assisting students from across the country for many years on preparing for the board exam, while Dr. Fredrick Pociask has expertise in instructional design and delivery. Additionally, Dr. Tia Hughes, Guest Editor, has served as Vice-Chairperson of the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE ?). Furthermore, all practice question content was reviewed and edited by our Item Writing Specialist – Dr. Sara Maher – who is a well-known and respected Item-Writer in Health Science education. This ensures that students will be provided with continuous examples of questions, as they will appear on the exam. For Educators and Academic Programs
