Job description

IEP Therapy is seeking a dedicated Occupational Therapist to join our Healthcare & Medical Services department supporting students within the Educational Services setting. As an Occupational Therapist with IEP Therapy, you will work directly with school-aged children to help them develop the skills they need to participate fully in their educational programs and daily school routines. You will provide individualized and small-group therapy services, conduct comprehensive evaluations, and develop student-centered treatment plans that align with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and educational goals.

In this role, you will collaborate closely with special education teams, classroom teachers, school psychologists, speech-language pathologists, and families to ensure that therapy goals are functional, educationally relevant, and integrated into the school day. Your responsibilities will include assessing fine motor, visual-motor, sensory processing, self-care, and school participation needs; writing clear and measurable goals; delivering direct and consultative therapy services; documenting progress; and participating in IEP meetings, eligibility conferences, and multidisciplinary team discussions.

You will use evidence-based practices and standardized assessment tools to guide your clinical decision-making, adapt classroom materials and environments to support student access, and provide training, strategies, and resources to teachers and paraprofessionals. You may assist with seating and positioning recommendations, use of adaptive equipment and assistive technology, and the development of sensory regulation and motor skills programs to improve student engagement and independence.

IEP Therapy offers a supportive, collaborative culture where your professional expertise is valued, and your input helps shape students’ educational experiences. You will have access to mentoring, peer support, and resources for continuing education, with opportunities to expand your clinical skills and grow professionally. Our culture emphasizes personalized care, open communication, and teamwork, empowering each therapist to make a meaningful, lasting impact in students’ lives.

This position is ideal for an Occupational Therapist who is passionate about working in schools, enjoys interdisciplinary collaboration, and thrives in an environment where every day brings new opportunities to problem-solve and advocate for students. Candidates should be comfortable managing a school-based caseload, organizing schedules across classrooms and grade levels, maintaining accurate and timely documentation, and communicating effectively with educators and families. If you are committed to helping students build independence, improve functional skills, and reach their educational goals, we invite you to bring your expertise to IEP Therapy and grow your career while transforming student outcomes.
