School Occupational Therapist | Kingston, New York

Step into a rewarding opportunity supporting autistic students ages 3–12 with Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy services in a collaborative school-based environment near Kingston, NY. This contract role offers a structured schedule and a highly supportive setting where both OTs and COTAs are welcomed and valued—there are currently two COTA openings available.

What You’ll Do:

• Provide occupational therapy services to students, generally in 1:1 sessions, based on each child’s individualized needs and service requirements
• Enjoy a set daily schedule (8:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m., 32.5 hours/week) with schedules managed by administration—your focus stays on therapy, not logistics
• Work with about 8–9 students per day, each seen 1–2 times per week
• Deliver therapy in dedicated OT treatment rooms; access a large gym and all needed equipment on site
• Collaborate with teachers, PTs, and other staff in a transdisciplinary, child-centered approach
• Utilize sensory processing principles to help students build skills for classroom and daily life
• Participate in morning and afternoon prep time for documentation, planning, and meetings
• Enter session notes and maintain documentation using provided laptops and electronic platforms
• Occasionally provide push-in services to promote skill generalization throughout the school environment

Who We’re Seeking:

• Licensed Occupational Therapist or Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant, eligible to practice in a school setting
• Experience with or passion for working with young autistic students
• Team-oriented mindset with strong collaborative skills
• Organizational skills to navigate a structured caseload

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Structured schedules—planning handled for you
• All therapy materials, equipment, and dedicated spaces are provided
• Administrative and transdisciplinary team support
• Comprehensive training in behavior management and school-based practices
• Opportunity to work in a highly collaborative, child-centered environment focused on student growth
