You’ll Be Responsible For:

• Managing a caseload targeting ~70 students, with approximately 30–40 students receiving direct therapy services (not weekly for all; varies from weekly to every few weeks)
• Coordinating and conducting occupational therapy assessments for students with an age span from preschool to young adult
• Participating in ARDS and collaborating closely with educators and families to ensure effective IEP implementation
• Maintaining detailed records using district-required software and Excel logs
• Providing treatment as the lead OT, as no COTA support is available
