OT is needed for this large facility with a nineteen acre campus and 30,000 sq. ft. of modern and efficient treatment space, including an Indoor Junior-Olympic heated pool and spa for exercise and treatment.

Setting is Early Childhood Intervention and Outpatient. Once a child enters the program they tend to stay until they age out, so there is considerable variety of medical diagnoses such as Down Syndrome and chromosomal abnormalities. Mostly general developmental delays which may be undiagnosed because they are so young or a result of prematurity. Also children with atypical oral motor and feeding problems and atypical behavior such as those on the PDD spectrum.

Length of stay is dependent on the needs of the child and at what age they were referred. Children with lifelong disabilities will stay until age three. Other children with mild delays are discharged once they are evaluated and shown to be demonstrating skills at age level.

We perform a full range of PT/OT/SLP work, except we do little spinal work and almost no closed head injuries.

We would likely also use a percentage of this staff in our Pediatric Outpatient program, a more traditional outpatient program. Length of stay there is 6-8 months, typically 1-2 times weekly.

Starting salary is negotiable but an OT would be somewhere near $60,000 annually. Salary is higher for an experienced OT.

Sign-on is negotiable.
Relocation assistance between $2,000 and $4,000
There is also Tuition Reimbursement available.
