About This Role
This part-time position places you in a center-based clinic working with young children ages 2-7 who have autism. Your days involve delivering occupational therapy services focused on early intervention, social skills, and preparing kids for school. You'll work as part of a clinical team in a structured facility setting rather than traveling between locations. The role is hourly and contract-based, paying $35-$50 per hour depending on experience. This position suits occupational therapists who prefer stability and consistency—working set hours in one location without commute variability. You should have experience or genuine interest in pediatric therapy and early childhood development, plus the ability to collaborate effectively with other clinicians.

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.
