We’re seeking a compassionate and skilled School-Based Pediatric Occupational Therapist to provide direct therapy, consultation, and evaluation services in public and private schools throughout NYC. You’ll be part of a supportive multidisciplinary team and have access to ongoing professional development and on-the-job mentorship.

What makes This Role Special? In this school-based position, we encourage and train our therapists to think outside the box — to go beyond traditional school-based therapy by bringing the creativity and quality of private practice into the educational environment. You’ll work in schools, but won’t be limited by the typical “school therapy” mindset. This role is ideal for someone who’s passionate about helping kids thrive through movement, play, and functional skill-building — not just handwriting drills. If you're driven to make a difference using dynamic, child-centered approaches, you’ll feel right at home here.

Responsibilities Provide direct therapy, consultation, and evaluation services in public and private schools throughout NYC. Work as part of a supportive multidisciplinary team. Access ongoing professional development and on-the-job mentorship.

Qualifications and requirements

Master’s or Doctorate in Occupational Therapy

Active New York State OT License

Pediatric experience required (including sensory integration, handwriting, and self-regulation strategies)

Creative, motivated, disciplined, and confident working independently

Excellent communication and collaboration skills

About us At Mighty Minds and Muscles we’re passionate about empowering children — and therapists! Based in Lower Manhattan, we offer a collaborative, supportive, and energetic work environment. Our mission is to provide you with the mentorship, tools, and learning opportunities you need to become an expert pediatric OT. And yes—plenty of amazing children to brighten your day.
