• Established pediatric caseload with strong patient demand

Join a Collaborative Pediatric Team

We are seeking a passionate Occupation Therapist (OT) to join a growing pediatric therapy team in the Kansas City area. The clinic serves children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, providing individualized therapy within an ABA-based setting.

This is a great opportunity for an OT who enjoys working with young children, values collaboration, and wants the flexibility to build a caseload that works for them. You’ll work alongside a strong multidisciplinary team in an established clinical environment with a consistent pediatric population and plenty of opportunity to grow.

One of the biggest advantages of this opportunity is caseload availability. There is a strong patient population already in place, allowing clinicians to maintain a desired caseload size without having to build a caseload from scratch.

What You’ll Do

• Provide individualized therapy to children (mostly ages 3–6)
• Work primarily with children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder
• Provide 1:1 therapy sessions lasting approximately 30–60 minutes
• Complete evaluations, typically scheduled for approximately 90 minutes
• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of pediatric professionals
• Complete documentation using OpenEMR
• Manage your daily caseload and schedule within clinic operating hours

Schedule & Flexibility

Clinicians have flexibility in determining the number of sessions they see each day, allowing you to build a caseload that aligns with your professional and income goals. The clinic is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM, with no weekend requirements.

Qualifications

• Licensed or license-eligible Occupational Therapist. COTA also welcome.
• Interest in working with a pediatric population
• Comfortable working with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
• Strong communication and collaboration skills
• Passion for providing individualized, child-centered care

If you’re looking for a pediatric OT position where you can step into an established caseload, work alongside a great clinical team, maintain flexibility in your schedule, and have the opportunity to grow into leadership, we’d love to connect with you.
