DescriptionOur client is an outpatient pediatric rehabilitation center in South Texas, They are looking for a Pediatric OT to join their team on a contract or direct hire basis. This is a very progressive clinic, with an outstanding and better than competitive salary structure. Most clients are only mildly disabled, and are 90% Spanish speaking. (Bilingual candidates are a huge plus but not a requirement). Most are preschoolers, who take their therapy sessions in a natural play environment with some newborns and a small number of older elementary aged students and junior high/middle school students. Most clients have SID, Handwriting and Memory issues but there is a combination of all diagnoses.
