If so, please tell them to send an email to MOCO including name & contact information, a resume or description of relevant experience and reasons for applying to work at MOCO and join a fantastic team and work with amazing families and their children.

ABOUT MOCO MOVEMENT CENTER:  MOCO Movement Center is a private pediatric occupational, physical and speech therapy practice located in Kensington, MD. At MOCO, we apply therapy in the real occupations of childhood, such as rock-climbing, ice-skating, music, swimming, sports, climbing over obstacle courses and more.

MOCO’s mission is to meet each client where they are and take them where they want to go and where they never believed they would be. With highly skilled, creative, therapists we use an intervention that promotes child development through an autonomous, playful, joyful and engaging process during play based interactions and daily routines. Each MOCO team member respects autonomy, uses intrinsic motivation and encourage the children to be strong self advocates Since we can’t all be experts in all of those activities, we use a unique treatment model where our therapist’s partner with “therapeutic facilitators” (essentially OT aides), who can teach the skills required for each activity while the therapists can focus on making the activity therapeutic. Our therapists love this model because it enables them to consult with the other therapists, step back and reassess the child’s needs, or take a private moment to speak to the family while the movement coach works with the child.

The working environment at MOCO is very supportive and we look forward to welcoming a new therapist into our big happy family!
