Occupational Therapy Assistant Jobs in Indiana: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a occupational therapy assistant in Indiana?

To become a licensed occupational therapy assistant in Indiana, you must complete an associate degree from an ACOTE-accredited program, pass the NBCOT Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant exam, and apply for licensure through the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency. Indiana requires an active state license before you begin working with patients. Licenses must be renewed every two years, and continuing education is required to maintain it.

How much do occupational therapy assistants make in Indiana?

Occupational therapy assistants in Indiana earn a median of about $66,660 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $43,340 for the lowest 10% to over $86,870 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire occupational therapy assistants in Indiana?

Indiana occupational therapy assistant roles are posted by Theracare, Trilogy Health Services, and Vertis Therapy and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Indiana's mix of large hospital systems, rehabilitation networks, and school corporations means openings appear across a broad range of care settings statewide.

Which Indiana cities have the most occupational therapy assistant jobs?

Indianapolis, Peru, and Portage have the most occupational therapy assistant openings in Indiana. Indianapolis leads because of its concentration of major hospital systems and rehabilitation facilities, while Fort Wayne and Evansville generate steady demand through their regional medical centers, long-term care campuses, and school district therapy programs serving surrounding rural communities.

Are there remote occupational therapy assistant jobs in Indiana?

Yes, but they are rare. Occupational therapy assistant work is inherently hands-on, making fully remote positions uncommon compared to desk-based fields. About 20% of occupational therapy assistant openings tied to Indiana are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those positions typically involve documentation support, telehealth consultation, or care coordination rather than direct patient treatment.

How can I get hired as a occupational therapy assistant in Indiana with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying for fieldwork-to-hire or new-graduate positions at Indiana's large rehabilitation and long-term care employers, including Indiana University Health and Ascension St. Vincent, both of which routinely onboard recent NBCOT exam passers. Candidates who completed their Level II fieldwork at an Indiana facility have a clear advantage. Restorative aide and rehab tech roles at skilled nursing facilities also serve as a common lateral move into a licensed OTA position once credentialed.

Where can I find and apply to occupational therapy assistant jobs in Indiana?

You can find and apply to occupational therapy assistant jobs in Indiana on Migrate Mate, which lists current Indiana openings across hospitals, rehabilitation centers, schools, and long-term care facilities. Find roles that fit your experience and specialty area and apply directly to the employers posting them.
