Job Description

Job Description

Step into a rewarding contract opportunity supporting autistic students ages 3–12 through Occupational Therapy (OT) and Physical Therapy (PT) services. Located near Highland, NY, this position is ideal for passionate professionals ready to make a meaningful impact within a collaborative, child-centered school environment. Both Occupational Therapists (OTs) and Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants (COTAs) are encouraged to apply, with two current COTA openings available.

Desired Qualifications & Experience

  • Valid NY state OT or COTA license (school-based experience preferred)
  • Background working with pediatric or school-age populations, especially students with autism
  • Strong understanding of sensory processing and child development
  • Ability to work cooperatively within a transdisciplinary team
  • Exceptional communication and documentation skills

What You’ll Do

  • Provide individualized OT sessions (8–9 per day) based on established 30-minute treatment increments
  • Support students’ participation in motor and educational activities through sensory processing strategies
  • Utilize provided therapeutic equipment and dedicated treatment rooms, with access to a large gym space
  • Document sessions electronically using assigned platforms (laptop provided)
  • Participate in push-in therapy services within classroom settings as appropriate
  • Engage in regular collaboration with teachers and related service staff, contributing to consistency and goal achievement
  • Attend scheduled prep time for meetings, planning, and documentation each morning and afternoon

What Sets This Role Apart

  • Structured daily schedule: 8:00am–3:00pm (32.5 hours/week) with a 30-minute lunch
  • Schedules managed by administration—no self-scheduling required
  • All therapy equipment and supplies provided on site
  • Two days of comprehensive behavior management training plus additional orientation
  • Dedicated spaces for OT and PT services
  • Emphasis on teamwork, training, and professional support

Ready to make a difference in a supportive school setting? Apply today to join a committed team focused on student strengths, interests, and achievement!
