It is the mission of the Lone Star College–Tomball Occupational Therapy Assistant (OTA) Program to provide technical education and skills which are responsive to the needs of the health care community and to the professional employment needs in the Lone Star College System service area. The program values the development of the student as a person while attending to the student's technical skill, knowledge base and professional development. The OTA program is dynamic and responsive to a changing community and student needs. Thus, the program faculty and administration will remain cognizant of changes in health care delivery systems and will collaborate with the occupational therapy profession and the OTA Advisory Committee to provide the program with information and recommendations for maintaining a contemporary OTA program.
