Occupational Therapist (OT) — NYS Licensed | Immediate Hire \n \n The Titus School | New York City \n \n Salary: $75,000–$85,000 annually, commensurate with education and experience. \n Immediate Hire \n \n At The Titus School, we believe every child deserves a school where they are understood, challenged, and celebrated. \n We specialize in serving students with autism and other developmental disabilities who have not found success in traditional educational settings. Through evidence-based instruction, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), and a highly collaborative multidisciplinary team, we help students build the academic, communication, behavioral, motor, sensory, and functional skills they need to become more independent, successful, and confident. \n Our Occupational Therapists work alongside an experienced multidisciplinary team—including Special Education Teachers, BCBAs, Speech-Language Pathologists, Physical Therapists, Counselors, and Behavior Therapists—to provide highly individualized, evidence-based programming. \n At Titus, occupational therapy is not isolated to the therapy room. Our OTs have opportunities to work with students across environments, collaborate directly with classroom teams, and help students generalize skills throughout their school day. \n Every member of our team plays an important role in helping students achieve milestones that many families once believed were out of reach.
