While the specific school placements will be finalized by the district, both roles ensure you’ll have the chance to make a powerful impact across Ingham County.

• Maintain accurate documentation and progress notes according to district and state guidelines
• Participate in IEP meetings, offering insights that support student growth

Whether you prefer a full-time schedule or the flexibility of part-time, you’ll find both options available to help align with your professional goals. Starting in September, you'll have the opportunity to provide meaningful therapy, nurture student independence, and be a valued resource within a supportive educational environment.
