About the job
At Small Steps, therapy is more than a service - it’s a collaborative, creative, and deeply human experience. We are a multidisciplinary team of speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, and feeding specialists who are united by a shared purpose: helping children and families thrive through compassionate, individualized care.
Our clinic is built on mentorship, collaboration, and the belief that every clinician brings unique passions and strengths to the team. Whether you’re developing a specialty, exploring new approaches, or refining your craft, you’ll be supported by experienced colleagues who are invested in your growth. We don’t just work alongside each other - we learn from each other.
We take a neurodiversity-affirming, child-led, play-based approach to therapy. That means we honor each child’s individuality, follow their lead, and create meaningful, engaging experiences that support development in a way that feels natural and empowering. Our work is guided not only by clinical excellence, but by respect, curiosity, and joy.
About the RoleAs a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant at Small Steps, you’ll play an integral role in a collaborative care team, partnering with families and fellow clinicians to design and deliver thoughtful, individualized treatment. You’ll coordinate with your supervising OTRs to support children with sensory, motor, and developmental needs, using evidence-based and play-centered approaches that align with each child’s strengths and goals.
This is a place where your voice matters, your interests are cultivated, and your impact is felt every day - in the lives of the children you support and the team you grow with.
