Job Description

Pediatric Occupational Therapy Assistant

Outpatient Clinic  •  Oklahoma City, OK  •  Full-Time  •  $45-54k/year

Therapitas has served Spanish-speaking families in Oklahoma since 2015 with one mission: ensuring Spanish-speaking children have the same access to quality therapy as any other child. If you are a passionate Occupational Therapist looking for a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the lives of children, we want to talk to you.

We’re hiring a Pediatric Occupational Therapy Assistant to join our multidisciplinary outpatient team in Oklahoma City. We provide trained interpreter support, so Spanish fluency is a plus, but not required.
 

Why Join Therapitas?

  • Mission-Driven Work: Be part of a team that expands access to care and makes a meaningful difference for children and families.
  • Work-Life Balance: Documentation gets done at work, not at home. We build documentation time into your schedule, protect your lunch hour, and use unfilled cancellations as additional documentation time.
  • Structured Mentorship and Support: New hires go through a formal training and ramp-up period, with ongoing support through regular one-on-ones, documentation guidance, and professional development.
  • Collaborative Team Environment: Work alongside experienced OTs, PTs, SLPs, and support staff who value teamwork, growth, and excellent care.
  • A Sustainable Caseload: Most therapists carry about 23–28 hours of direct therapy per week, with caseloads built around experience and preferences.

What You’ll Do

✔️ Implement treatment plans developed by a licensed Occupational Therapist (OT).

✔️ Provide skilled intervention to support fine/visual motor skills, sensory processing challenges, ADL participation, delayed or restrictive feeding patterns, and overall functional independence.

✔️ Educate patients and caregivers on therapeutic activities and home programs to enhance progress.

✔️ Document services in our easy-to-use EMR to meet clinical standards and payer requirements

✔️ Collaborate with PTs, SLPs, and other team members to provide coordinated, family-centered care

✔️ Supervise Occupational Therapy Assistant students

 

What Your Caseload May Look Like

You’ll see mostly toddlers and school-age children, with some infants and adolescents. Patients may range from 2 weeks to 20 years old. Common diagnoses include developmental delay, sensory processing challenges, Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, and other genetic or neurological conditions.

We are leaders in pediatric therapy who serve the Latino community through outpatient clinics and community education. Research has shown that Latino children with such delays are more likely to be unidentified until much later in childhood, and even then, they have limited resources for appropriate treatment. Our mission is to give hope to Latino children with developmental delays. We work with children and focus on equipping them with strategies to maximize their potential for independence.
