Current Assignment

• Initial caseload of 13 students receiving 30-minute OT sessions.
• Six students receive weekly sessions; seven receive services on a nine-week schedule, with two to five sessions per nine-week period.
• Part-time coverage is the immediate need; the caseload may change as some students exit services.
• The school partner is also open to full-time coverage if appropriate.
• All services are delivered in person at the assigned school site; this is not a teletherapy position.

• Develop and support individualized, functional IEP goals.
• Support fine motor skills, sensory processing, self-care, and classroom participation.
• Recommend adaptive equipment, accommodations, and environmental modifications.
• Consult with teachers, paraprofessionals, families, and interdisciplinary school teams.
• Maintain accurate service documentation, progress notes, and required records.

Qualifications

• Degree in occupational therapy from an ACOTE-accredited program or another pathway accepted for Texas OT licensure.
• Current, active Texas occupational therapist license in good standing (or eligibility to obtain licensure before providing services).
• NBCOT certification, as applicable to licensure eligibility.
• Knowledge of IDEA, the IEP process, and the educational model of occupational therapy.
• Ability to provide reliable, on-site coverage in Beaumont during school hours.
• Strong communication, collaboration, and documentation skills.
