My name is Brendan, you may know me as the front desk sales associate at Snap Fitness. I am also the captain of my school cohort, class of 2026 Student Physical Therapist Assistants of Cuyahoga Community College.

A Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) provides hands-on patient care under the supervision of a physical therapist, helping individuals improve mobility, reduce pain, and regain independence. Our program requires accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE) as an Associates Degree.

Funds donated to our cohort will directly pay for our memberships in the OPTA, “the leading source for physical therapists’ and physical therapist assistants' continuing education and professional development opportunities.” Extra funds will be utilized for program events like graduation and volunteer.
