Occupational Therapist

Our Occupational Therapists enjoy professional autonomy, but they also benefit from the camaraderie of being considered part of the school community and the special education team. They will work with different schools to conduct assessments, attend IEPs, and provide new evaluation requests. They typically supervise and support up to two Occupational Therapist Assistants, who implement the direct services in accordance to the IEP goals, and may have their own direct service caseload.
