About This Role
This is a summer-based occupational therapy position supporting students in the Lansing School District's compensatory education camp program. You'll work with school-age children in a structured summer setting, delivering therapeutic services and interventions aligned with students' IEPs. The role is ideal for OTs seeking seasonal work with built-in time off during the school year. You'll collaborate with teachers and support staff in a diverse, urban school environment serving over 10,000 students across multiple buildings. The district values innovative approaches to student support, so candidates who bring creative problem-solving skills and flexibility work well here. This position suits OTs looking for meaningful clinical work in schools without the full-year commitment or those building experience in pediatric special education settings.

Frequently asked questions
What license do I need to apply?
An active state license in your discipline (PT, OT, SLP, LCSW, LPC, BCBA, etc.) in good standing. Therapy licensure is state-specific — the PT, OT, and ASLP-IC compacts let you practice in member states without a separate license.
Is this a school-year or year-round position?
School-based therapy roles typically follow a 9- or 10-month school-year calendar with summers off. Outpatient, hospital, home-health, and telehealth positions are year-round with PTO. Both options are widely available — check the job description for specifics.
What experience is expected?
Most therapy roles welcome new grads through mid-career clinicians. Specialty positions (acute care, NICU, pediatric feeding, hand therapy) typically prefer 2+ years plus relevant certifications.
