Make a lasting impact in the lives of individuals and families and in your career. Pediatric Partners, a member of Sevita, is an allied health therapy provider serving North Dakota and Minnesota. We offer physical, occupational, and speech therapy, along with Early Intervention, therapeutic counseling, and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). Our clinics feature private treatment rooms and motor/sensory gyms, allowing therapists to deliver highly individualized care. Clinicians work across both outpatient and ABA center settings, partnering with BCBAs and RBTs to support clients with autism and related diagnoses. This integrated model reinforces skill development across environments and gives therapists a dynamic mix of structured sessions and naturalistic, play-based interventions. We are now expanding our reach in Minnesota by delivering therapy in the home and community, beginning with adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) served through Sevita's Community Services programs, and expanding to include children with special needs and medically complex children.

The Program Director leads the coordination and delivery of all clinical services, ensuring high-quality care, compliance, and strong outcomes for clients and families. This role oversees a multidisciplinary team of Speech, Occupational, and Physical Therapists, supporting collaboration across outpatient and ABA settings while managing day-to-day operations, staff development, and program performance.

First, the Program Director will build Sevita's in-home therapy presence in the Twin Cities, recruiting and leading PT, OT, and Speech clinicians who serve adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in their homes, working in close partnership with Sevita's Community Services teams. As that market grows, the role will extend in-home services to children with developmental disorders as well as those with complex medical conditions.
