I am a pediatric PT. Where I live they are laying off the Cota's but PTA are being hired.
I would talk to the school system therapists where you live

Since you're wanting to work with children, I would definitely go for the OTA.
You could work in a pediatric clinic and would have a ton of variability.

PTA for sure. There's a much larger market for them. I hire them and I know there is a much larger demand.
