The ideal candidate has feeding experience, strong time management skills, excellent interpersonal skills, and a solid understanding of occupational therapy principles and best practices.

You will have the flexibility and autonomy to build your own schedule and caseload—whether you prefer part-time (as few as 15 clients) or full-time (30+ clients), the choice is yours.
