at the Caddo-Kiowa Technology Center (CKTC) in Fort Cobb. The Occupational Therapy

Therapy Education. Graduates of the program are able to sit for the national certification

for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT). After successful completion of
this exam, the individual will be a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA).
