Occupational Therapist

IEP Therapy is seeking a compassionate and skilled Occupational Therapist to join our Healthcare & Medical Services team, providing school-based therapy services to children with diverse learning and developmental needs. In this role, you will work directly with students, educators, and families to assess functional performance in areas such as fine motor skills, sensory processing, self-care, and school participation, and to develop individualized treatment plans that support each student’s educational goals. Using evidence-based practices, you will deliver direct and consultative occupational therapy services in school settings, collaborate closely with teachers and special education staff to adapt classroom activities and environments, and recommend appropriate accommodations, modifications, and assistive equipment to help students access the curriculum.

As an Occupational Therapist with IEP Therapy, you will conduct comprehensive evaluations, contribute to multidisciplinary team meetings, and participate in the development and review of Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), ensuring that therapy goals are measurable, functional, and aligned with state and district standards. You will maintain accurate and timely documentation, including evaluation reports, treatment notes, progress reports, and Medicaid or insurance-related paperwork as required by the district. You will also provide training and education to teachers, classroom aides, and families on strategies to support student independence, regulation, and engagement throughout the school day.

IEP Therapy fosters a supportive and collaborative culture where therapists share knowledge, problem-solve together, and are encouraged to grow professionally. In this role, you will have access to ongoing continuing education resources, mentorship, and professional development focused on school-based practice, sensory integration, assistive technology, and evolving best practices in pediatric occupational therapy. You will have the opportunity to work across multiple school sites, increasing your exposure to diverse student populations and instructional programs, while maintaining a manageable caseload and strong administrative support.

This position is ideal for an Occupational Therapist who is passionate about making a direct impact on students’ educational experiences and long-term independence. You should be comfortable working as part of an interdisciplinary team, communicating effectively with school staff and families, and adapting your interventions to fit within the school schedule and classroom routines. You will use your clinical judgment to prioritize student needs, monitor progress toward goals, and adjust treatment plans as needed. In addition, you will stay current with district policies and state and federal regulations related to school-based therapy and special education services.

Candidates should be licensed or license-eligible as an Occupational Therapist in the state in which services are provided and hold, or be eligible for, any required school-based credentials. Experience in pediatric or school-based occupational therapy, familiarity with IEP processes, and strong documentation and organizational skills are highly valued. This role offers the chance to build meaningful relationships with students, help them develop critical life and academic skills, and play a vital part in a mission-driven organization dedicated to personalized care and student success.
