Occupational Therapist - Martin Luther School

Occupational Therapist - Martin Luther School

At Martin Luther School, we believe every child deserves access to an excellent education, even if their path to school has included challenges, disruption, or trauma.

Our students are bright, curious, and capable. What many of them have needed is a school that understands how regulation, sensory processing, communication, and emotional development are connected to learning. At MLS, therapeutic support and academics go hand in hand. Both are essential to helping students build confidence and independence.

Our elementary classrooms are supported by a collaborative team that includes teachers, social workers, behavior specialists, and clinical leaders. Staff work closely together to understand each student, problem-solve challenges, and create environments where children feel safe, supported, and ready to engage. Clinicians are not working in isolation. They are part of a thoughtful system that supports both students and staff.
