At Pediatric Specialty Care, occupational therapy supports children and young adults with complex medical and developmental needs. Care is delivered thoughtfully, collaboratively, and with the time needed to make meaningful progress, never rushed or reduced to productivity targets.

We are seeking an Occupational Therapist who values consistency, interdisciplinary collaboration, and developmentally appropriate, family-centered care. This role is well suited for an OT who wants to build skills and relationships while supporting functional independence across daily routines, play, mobility, and participation.

  • Why OTs Choose PSC
  • Manageable caseloads that allow for individualized, pediatric-focused care
  • Interdisciplinary collaboration with nursing, therapy, education, and care teams
  • Ongoing relationships with children, young adults, and their families
  • Supportive, accessible leadership that values clinical expertise and therapy input
  • A stable pediatric setting where consistency and continuity of care matter
  • What You’ll Do
  • Perform comprehensive pediatric occupational therapy evaluations and develop individualized treatment plans
  • Support residents with ADLs, fine motor skills, sensory processing, positioning, and functional mobility
  • Deliver developmentally appropriate, goal-driven interventions in individual and group settings
  • Maintain accurate, timely clinical documentation in accordance with regulatory standards
  • Collaborate closely with interdisciplinary teams on care planning, progress monitoring, and transitions

At PSC, occupational therapists are given the time, support, and collaboration needed to deliver meaningful care.
