There are Respiratory Therapists, Respiratory Nurses, and Respiratory Therapy Technicians. However, I have never heard of a Respiratory Aide, and the U.S. Department of Labor does not list it within their occupational handbook. The closest to the aide type of position would be the Respiratory Therapy Technician who operates under the direction of the Respiratory Therapist and/or the Physician.
The correct term is physical therapist assistant and you must have a license. No such term as an assistant physical therapist. To be a p.t.a. you must earn your applied science associate degree (2 year) from an accredited college ( [http://www.apta.org www.apta.org] will show you colleges) and pass your boards. Below a p.t.a is a physical therapy aide (usually in nursing home "unskilled" on the job training), as physical therapy technicians are no longer legal due to "abusing" them (cheaper without a license). P.ta.'s work under the supervision of a physical therapist. Good pay for short amount of school however you are limited to that job specifically as it is a "technical" job and not really any easily accessible bridging programs (unless you live in Ohio or California) to become a physical therapist if you so want to later.
