Full Time Pediatric Occupational Therapist

Seedling Pediatric Therapies of Kansas City is looking for a passionate Pediatric Occupational Therapist to join our team. This is a unique full-time role that blends the best of all worlds: you'll provide on-site support in local preschools and charter schools. This role will be located at Operation Breakthrough, a nonprofit serving youth in Kansas City, MO. You won't just be treating; you'll be collaborating with teachers and parents to create lasting change. Our Mission Seedling Pediatric Therapies believes all children and families deserve access to quality therapy services. We aim to increase accessibility by partnering with local preschools, charter schools, and private schools to accelerate skill development by working with the child in their daily environment. We not only treat the child but also communicate weekly with teachers and parents to have a holistic, team-based approach toward their child's progress. We are a community-based medical practice which allows for more flexibility in treatment planning. See our website for current partnership locations.
