About the position

This opportunity is available for a therapist in both outpatient and home settings for a duration of 13 weeks. The therapist will be responsible for treating approximately 8-12 patients per day, primarily focusing on a pediatric outpatient population ranging from ages 0-3, although there may be opportunities to work with patients up to young teenagers. The patients will present with a variety of disabilities and developmental delays, including but not limited to Down Syndrome, Autism Spectrum Disorder, prematurity, and Cerebral Palsy (CP). A significant aspect of the role involves working collaboratively with both professionals and parents, ensuring that they learn together about the implications of the therapies and interventions being provided.
