Job Description

About the Role

Little Land Pediatric Therapy & Play Gym is looking for a Pediatric Physical Therapist to join our Cedar Park clinic. You will evaluate and treat children with a wide range of physical and developmental needs, working as part of a combined Occupational and Physical Therapy team alongside our Speech and ABA programs.

This is a hands-on clinical role in a true multi-disciplinary setting. You will build individualized treatment plans, track progress, and collaborate daily with OTs, SLPs, and behavior analysts on shared cases, all inside a clinic built around a therapeutic play gym designed for kids to want to be there.

Key Responsibilities

  • Evaluate new patients and develop individualized, evidence-based physical therapy treatment plans
  • Deliver direct treatment to a pediatric caseload, adjusting plans of care as children progress
  • Document evaluations, treatment plans, and session notes in line with payer and regulatory requirements
  • Collaborate with the OT, Speech, and ABA teams on shared cases to keep treatment approaches aligned
  • Communicate clearly and consistently with families about progress, home programs, and goals
  • Participate in team meetings and case reviews with clinical leadership

What We're Looking For

  • Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree from an accredited program
  • Active, unencumbered Texas PT license, or eligible for licensure
  • Pediatric clinical experience preferred; new graduates with strong pediatric fieldwork are welcome to apply
  • Comfort working in a multi-disciplinary environment alongside OT, Speech, and ABA
  • Strong communication skills with kids, families, and teammates
  • A genuine interest in pediatric development, not just physical therapy in the abstract

Benefits

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • CEU reimbursement to support continuing education and license renewal
  • Paid time off
  • Paid holidays
  • Salary: 65000 - 75000 USD Per annum

Pediatrics — Physical Therapist Career Context

Of the 50 active Pediatrics listings this role was benchmarked against, 4% are remote, 38% have no call, 78% require no weekends.

Pediatrics pay on WeekdayDoc is down 8.7% vs. the prior quarter (through Aug 2026).

The cost-of-living index for Texas is 97.1 (US average = 100; BEA Regional Price Parities (2024)), so the posted ~$70k midpoint carries the purchasing power of roughly $72k in an average-cost state. 57.7% of Texas clinicians report burnout symptoms in WeekdayDoc's Burnout Index (2026-01 data).

Location & Logistics

Texas has no state income tax, which can significantly increase take-home pay compared to high-tax states. At the posted ~$70k midpoint, that is roughly $3k–$5k a year versus a typical 4–7% state rate.
