Ron, I have never worked with a COTA either, but if I were in your
position I would probably refresh my memory about exactly what it is
that COTAs can do, and then relate that to what I would want/expect
if they were working with me. It never hurts to teach theory,
because it helps to understand WHY a particular treatment/therapy is
being done, or should be done. I am fairly ignorant about COTAs
(yes, I forgot that part of my schooling because I have never needed
it)... I know they can't do evaluations, but can treat. I would go
ahead and teach the theory since that is what you are comfortable with.

Hello All:
I am doing a guest a 2-hour guest lecture at a COTA program next week.
The general topic is occupation and occupational performance, but I'm
not really sure what/how to teach.
I have lots of teaching experience so I'm unconcerned about actual
presentation, I just don't have any COTA experience. I don't think
COTA's get much theory, but what I teach is mostly theory, with some
case study.
Looking for any suggestions/feedback.
Thanks,
Ron
