Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant
1 month ago
This is a unique opportunity to do cutting edge work with dedicated support staff who understands and supports development within a private healthcare practice. We believe that the “behaviors” that impact daily function are typically a result of challenges with comprehension and communication, challenges in processing sensory information from the environment and staying regulated around a broad range of emotions. With our interpretation of intentions, use of language-based strategies, emotional and sensory support, and an individualized, multi-sensory, engaging and meaningful program, our kids are limitless
