We are honoring Alonso C., an exceptional COTA is dedicated to helping his students succeed.

<p>At Cross Country Education, we’re honored to work with the best of the best from across the nation! We take great pride in their shared passion for helping students succeed, and we love passing along their insight to inspire others interested in this rewarding field. This month, we’re spotlighting an amazing COTA, Alonso C.</p><p>Here’s why Alonso decided to become a COTA, and what he enjoys most about working with Cross Country Education.</p><h3>Why did you become a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant?</h3><p>I became an occupational therapy assistant because I genuinely enjoy working with children. I help them achieve their goals through arts and crafts and other tabletop activities. Often, I identify the underlying skills they need to meet their goals while they’re engaging in these activities, and they don’t even realize they’re working towards their objectives.</p><h3>What do you like about Cross Country Education?</h3><p>I have enjoyed the training with some of the guest speakers as well as our current OT department. It’s been a great team.</p><h3>What have you liked about your experience working at schools with Cross Country Education?</h3><p>I enjoy the ability to work in various different schools which allows me to learn and work with students k-12.</p><h3>What kind of advice would you give to those starting out in your field?</h3><p>I recommend that the provider select one or two activities for the week and challenge themselves to incorporate them into all the students’ lessons. This will help them develop the skill of providing the right challenge for the student, and this will enhance their ability to grade up or down any other activity they choose for future sessions.</p><h2>COTA Jobs</h2><p>If, like Alonso, you’re ready to make a difference in the lives of students and embark on a meaningful adventure as a COTA, <a href="https://www.crosscountry.com/education" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">explore our jobs today</a>!</p>
