OCMS offers that support to not just them, but their families. We are a place where they can belong, build meaningful relationships, celebrate their strengths, and reach goals that matter to them.

This role is about more than teaching music or leading therapy sessions. It is about building trust with families, creating moments of joy, supporting growth through evidence based practice, and helping each client experience success in a way that is meaningful to them. Every interaction is an opportunity to make a lasting difference in someone's life.
