Job Description

For the Therapist Who Sees Possibility in Everyday Moments

Picture this...

It's the end of the school day, and a little girl proudly zips her own jacket for the first time.

A parent smiles and says, "We've been working on that for months."

Those are the moments Occupational Therapists live for.

At Chatterbox Pediatric Therapy, we know that some of the biggest victories happen during the smallest everyday tasks.

Getting dressed.

Holding a pencil.

Trying a new food.

Joining friends on the playground.

Sitting through circle time.

Brushing teeth without tears.

These aren't "little things." They're the skills that help children participate more fully in life.

That's why we're looking for an Occupational Therapist who loves helping children build confidence through meaningful, play-based experiences.

What your days might look like...

One session might involve climbing through an obstacle course to improve motor planning.

The next could be exploring sensory strategies that help a child feel calm enough to participate in preschool.

Later in the day, you may coach a parent on simple activities they can weave into bedtime routines or mealtimes.

Throughout the day, you'll collaborate with Speech-Language Pathologists and Physical Therapists who enjoy learning from one another and celebrating each child's progress together.

For therapists who enjoy variety, there are also opportunities to provide Early Intervention services (birth through age three) through in-home visits or telehealth, helping children build foundational movement skills within their everyday routines.

Here's what you'll notice about Chatterbox...

  • We don't believe therapy has to look one certain way.
  • Sometimes progress happens on a swing.
  • Sometimes it happens while finger painting.
  • Sometimes it happens while pretending to be pirates.

We believe children learn best when they feel safe, engaged, and connected—and we trust our therapists to be creative in helping them get there.

You might be a great fit if...

You love celebrating small victories.

You enjoy finding creative solutions.

You naturally encourage and coach families.

You believe every child deserves to participate in everyday life.

You value teamwork and continuous learning.
