Pediatric Occupational Therapist

Cortica is looking for an Occupational Therapist to join its growing multi‑disciplinary team! As an Occupational Therapist, you’ll assess, diagnose, and treat sensory integration, sensorimotor, motor, feeding, and developmental disorders in children, while utilizing Cortica’s Whole Child Approach. We are a rapidly growing healthcare company pioneering the most effective treatment methods for children with neurodevelopmental differences. Our mission is to design and deliver life‑changing care – one child, one family, one community at a time. Ultimately, we envision a world that cultivates the full potential of every child. What will you do? Establish occupational therapy treatment goals through dynamic and standardized assessment tools, in alignment with Cortica’s Whole Child Approach. Consult closely with transdisciplinary team members to create collaborative treatment plans and integrative strategies. Provide individual, group, and co‑treat therapy sessions for therapy services within scope, as clinically appropriate. Contribute to the autism diagnostic process by providing clinical insight and administering standardized assessments (e.g., ADOS), as appropriate. Provide therapeutic services in‑person in the clinic setting and via telehealth, as clinically appropriate. Accurately complete documentation in accordance with Cortica’s designated time frames. Provide neurodiversity‑affirming interventions that are both play‑based and goal‑based. Facilitate functional and child‑led experiences to target and achieve individualized goals. Utilize transdisciplinary care strategies and supports to help the individual engage in occupations and activities of daily living. Collaborate with the individual and family to understand their values, interests, and goals. Implement programming that considers all aspects of the child, inclusive of, but not limited to sensory, motor, cognitive, communicative, recreational, and social activities. Educate patients, families, team members, and caregivers on strategies and generalization activities that complement treatment. Attend and participate in transdisciplinary rounds, care collaboration meetings, collaborative workshops, site meetings, as well as discipline‑specific trainings. Follow Cortica crisis and emergency procedures, including de‑escalation strategies, first aid strategies and mandated reporting. Utilize software and systems, including electronic medical record (EMR) systems and Microsoft Office products, to efficiently manage documentation, reporting, and communication tasks.
