- Monitor and document student progress according to district and state guidelines
- For COTAs, provide therapeutic services under the supervision of an Occupational Therapist
- Maintain clear communication with the district’s special education and administrative teams
- Foster a supportive, inclusive environment that helps students achieve their personal and academic goals
This assignment offers a full-time schedule (approx. 7–7.5 hours per day; final schedule pending district confirmation), working with a dynamic team and making a visible difference for students across a wide age range. The initial contract covers approximately 12 weeks, with potential extensions possible based on district needs.
