Job Description
Every therapist deserves a work environment that enables them to provide the best possible services, just as every child deserves the support that empowers them to find their voice.
AXIS Teletherapy was built by two SLP sisters who believed therapists thrive when they’re part of a community designed for balance, connection and purpose.
Working with schools across the country, both virtual and brick-and-mortar, AXIS delivers remote therapy through a trusted team of speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, psychologists, counselors, and evaluators.
The result is high-quality care for students across the country, and a strong, supportive community for the professionals who serve them.
Occupational Therapists at AXIS help students build the practical, emotional, and physical skills they need to navigate school and daily life with greater independence. Working in a virtual model, they bring creativity and clinical insight to each session, adapting strategies that fit both the student’s environment and unique needs. Their work supports not just function, but confidence, helping students participate more fully in their education.
