Sensory KIDS is seeking a clinical therapy manager/occupational therapist and a part-time occupational therapist to join a busy practice providing support to children and families living with sensory challenges.

Occupational therapists at Sensory KIDS provide dynamic, responsive, and individualized therapy to clients across the lifespan. Whether working with toddlers or adults our therapy is family-centered. We integrate sensory- and relationship-based methods with a focus on self-regulation.
