Occupational Therapist

Occupational Therapist

The Occupational Therapist (OT) provides individualized and group-based therapeutic services to support students' functional participation in academic, social, and daily living activities. Working within a multidisciplinary team, the OT designs and implements interventions that promote sensory regulation, fine motor development, executive functioning, and adaptive skills in alignment with each student's Individualized Education Program (IEP).

The Mill Pond Schools, with locations in Springfield and the Berkshires, serve students—kindergarten through age 22—who have social-emotional and/or behavioral challenges, a learning disability, or who may have a diagnosis of high-functioning Autism. We are committed to serving the whole child, including the child's family. Our goal is to assist students in developing the skills necessary to successfully return to a less-restrictive environment, and, ultimately, to their previous school setting.

Schedule

• Master's degree in occupational therapy from an accredited program
