Job Title : Occupational Therapist (OT) at TKC Therapy

About Us :

TKC Therapy provides high-quality and intensive PT, OT, and ST services to children attending The Kidz Club (TKC), a Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care (PPEC) center. PPEC centers provide daily skilled nursing care to medically-complex children, ages birth to under 21.

Learn more about us by visiting our website.

Our Expectations :

As an OT at this facility, we highly prefer someone with neurodevelopmental and sensory integration experience, as this makes up a large majority of the caseload. The caseload heavily consists of children with genetic disorders, cerebral palsy, brain injuries, extreme prematurity, and other diagnoses that come with accompanying motor and sensory processing difficulties.

The children who attend The Kidz Club range from NICU-discharged infants to young adults in wheelchairs. You must be comfortable treating this wide range of population to be successful here.

This facility has a heavy focus on interdisciplinary collaboration. You must be able to work well with other therapists and staff (ST, PT, ABA, nurses, caregivers, etc.) throughout the day, and be comfortable with basic medical terminology and processes.

This setting consists of medically-complex children, some with accompanying behavior issues as well. You must be confident in your knowledge of therapeutic intervention for unique cases, as well as confident in your ability to manage disruptive behaviors.

We operate on a fee-for-service basis, meaning you are paid for the hours you bill face-to-face with each child. Because of this, you have flexibility in your schedule, but you also need to be hard-working, self-motivated, and efficient with time management.

Most importantly, we are looking for someone with an easy-going personality, who is quick on their feet, passionate about helping children with special needs, and always open to learning!

Responsibilities :

• Assess and diagnose a variety of developmental, congenital, neurological, and musculoskeletal disorders for the medical population, ages birth to 21.
• Develop individualized treatment plans following a comprehensive evaluation to address clients' sensory processing, motor skills, cognitive abilities, self-care skills, play skills, and overall functional performance.
• Utilize evidence-based practice in therapy sessions tailored to each client's specific impairments, including :

Sensory integration therapy to improve sensory processing and modulation.
