A therapeutic public day special education program serving grades 8 through 12 seeks a Virtual Occupational Therapist to provide telehealth services approximately 3 hours per week. The school supports roughly 20 students on site, with capacity for 30, primarily placed out of district by sending local education agencies across western Massachusetts.

Responsibilities include delivering direct occupational therapy sessions via video conferencing, with a staff member physically present in the room. The role focuses mainly on consultation with teachers and clinical staff regarding sensory, organizational, and executive functioning supports. Key work includes transition-oriented goals such as improving material organization, assignment tracking toward 90% independence, sensory regulation linked to cooking class participation, enhancing visual perceptual skills, and supporting activities of daily living like typing and job application completion. The therapist translates broadly written IEP goals into actionable tasks that engage teenagers, including those resistant to adult suggestions. Coordination with speech-language pathologists and participation in team meetings, progress monitoring, and documentation are essential components.
