Make a Meaningful Impact – One Student at a Time

At IEP Therapy, a proud Point Quest partner, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive—not just in the classroom, but in life. As a school-based Occupational Therapist, you are more than a clinician; you are a lifeline for students navigating challenges with strength, resilience, and potential. Your compassion, creativity, and commitment can help unlock that potential and empower students to succeed in their educational journey.

Join a team that values heart as much as expertise. If you’re looking for a role where your skills create lasting change and your presence makes every day brighter for children and their families, we invite you to become part of our mission-driven community.

At IEP Therapy, a Point Quest Partner,  support isn’t just a value—it’s the foundation of everything we do . We believe that when therapists feel truly supported, they’re empowered to make the greatest impact in the lives of the students and schools they serve.

That’s why our culture is built on  collaboration, encouragement, and continuous professional growth . From your very first day, you’ll have access to the tools, resources, and a dedicated team focused on helping you thrive.

Join IEP Therapy and discover the difference a truly supportive workplace can make.
