If so, we'd love to connect with you!

What Makes Us Different: Neuro-Affirming Philosophy: We wholeheartedly embrace the neurodiversity paradigm, recognizing and respecting the natural variations in human neurobiology. We are committed to providing therapy that supports the unique strengths and needs of each client. Anti-ABA/Behaviorist Approach: We firmly reject the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and other behaviorist methodologies that aim to force conformity. Our focus is on understanding and supporting individual sensory and functional differences, not on trying to eliminate or suppress them. LGBTQ+ Affirming & Anti-Racist Practice: We are deeply committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and affirming environment for all clients, families, and team members, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, race, ethnicity, or background. We actively work to dismantle systemic biases in our practice. Strong Understanding of Neuro-affirming practices: We value clinicians with a robust understanding of the neurodiversity movement, Autistic culture, and neuro-affirming therapy practices, particularly in relation to sensory processing, interoception, and executive functioning. Client-Centered & Authentic: We prioritize strong collaboration with families while empowering our neurodivergent clients (primarily Autistic and/or ADHD) to be their authentic selves without the pressure to mask or conform. Calm & Supportive Environment: Enjoy working in private offices within our (generally) calm clinic, fostering a soothing and supportive atmosphere for both therapists and clients. Truly Collaborative Team: We believe in the power of teamwork and offer a genuinely collaborative environment where you'll be supported by like-minded professionals. What You'll Do: Provide engaging and neuro-affirming occupational therapy services to pediatric clients (a healthy mix of neurotypes, but an emphasis on Autistic and/or ADHD), with a strong focus on sensory processing, interoception, and executive functioning skills. Conduct comprehensive assessments and develop individualized, neurodiversity-affirming treatment plans addressing sensory needs, interoceptive awareness, and executive function challenges. Collaborate effectively with families, caregivers, and other professionals. Maintain accurate and timely documentation. Contribute to a positive and supportive team environment. Commit to ongoing learning and professional development in neuro-affirming OT practices related to sensory processing, interoception, and executive function. You Are Someone Who: Holds a valid Texas OT license (or is eligible) (would consider OTA). Has experience working with pediatric clients. Possesses a strong understanding of neurodivergence, particularly Autism and ADHD, and its impact on sensory processing, interoception, and executive functioning. Is deeply committed to the neurodiversity paradigm and anti-ABA/behaviorist principles. Is LGBTQ+ affirming and actively anti-racist in their clinical practice. Values collaboration, empathy, and respect. Is self-motivated, organized, and reliable. Is passionate about empowering neurodivergent individuals to participate fully in meaningful activities. Bonus Points For: Specific training or experience in sensory integration therapy, interoceptive awareness interventions, and executive function coaching for neurodivergent individuals. Lived experience as a neurodivergent, BIPOC, or LGBTQ+ individual. Bilingual skills. Feeding. To Apply: If you are a progressive and passionate OT who resonates with our values and approach, and has expertise in sensory processing, interoception, and executive functioning, we encourage you to apply!

We do not accept phone calls or walk-ins regarding employment opportunities. We are excited to hear from you and build a team that truly celebrates neurodivergence and supports holistic well-being! About Therapy Center of Buda: Welcome to the Therapy Center of Buda, your compassionate ally in speech-language pathology and occupational therapy, located just south of Austin, Texas. As a therapist-owned clinic, we are deeply committed to delivering family-centered services that not only empower but also foster strong advocacy, community engagement, and self-acceptance among our clients and their caregivers. Our approach is anchored in affirmation and respect for each individual's journey, explicitly steering clear of ABA/behaviorism methodologies. We are mostly a pediatric facility, but make exceptions for young adults when their needs align with our offerings. Our expertise particularly shines in addressing the complexities of Autism and ADHD, prioritizing a nuanced understanding of each client's needs. We emphasize comprehensive client and family education, tailored support for sensory needs, and insightful strategies for managing PDA, autistic burnout, and transitions from traditional educational environments. Beyond these specialized areas, we are fully equipped to meet a wide array of speech and language needs, ensuring all our clients receive the holistic support they deserve. Our state-of-the-art facility spans 4,000 square feet and features both indoor and outdoor sensory gyms, alongside a serene sensory room, designed to nurture comfort and growth. While we primarily offer in-clinic sessions, telehealth services are available under specific circumstances, ensuring accessibility and continuity of care. At the Therapy Center of Buda, we are dedicated to creating a space where clients can genuinely feel seen, heard, and understood, equipping them with the skills to flourish in their own unique ways.
