  • Experience in pediatrics, neurology, or rehabilitation strongly preferred
  • Comfortable working with medically complex and behaviorally challenged pediatric patients
  • Strong teamwork, communication, and clinical decision-making skills
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, interdisciplinary hospital environment
