School-Based Occupational Therapy Jobs

Recent years have seen school-based occupational therapy jobs on the rise as more schools around the country begin to offer this service to students. Occupational therapy in schools is based on the understanding that children with disabilities may require assistance with different school activities in order to participate fully in school environments and obtain the maximum enrichment. Occupational therapy is fast becoming an integral part of many special education programs, and consequently, more jobs in the field are being created.

At Rehab Options, we can help both occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants find jobs in a school setting. We have job listings for both public and private schools in many regions throughout the country. Most school-based occupational therapy jobs require certification and licensing, so make sure you have the appropriate credentials before you apply.
