Occupational Therapy Assistant specializing in pediatric school and early intervention services.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a pediatric OT role in schools or early intervention where I can implement individualized plans, support sensory and fine-motor goals, coach caregivers, collaborate with teams, and use data to drive progress toward functional independence.

I’m a Bilingual Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant with four years of experience providing pediatric Occupational Therapy services in school-based and early intervention settings. I support children with a wide range of needs—helping general education students, autism spectrum disorders, and life skills populations build foundational abilities for classroom participation and daily life. I implement individualized treatment plans targeting fine motor, sensory processing, visual motor, and functional independence.

I collaborate closely with teachers, families, and multidisciplinary teams to promote student engagement and carryover of skills across environments. In my roles, I assisted with implementing and adjusting intervention plans based on student performance data and therapist direction to support goal attainment. I also support caregivers through coaching and education, adapting therapeutic activities to each child’s environment and developmental level while documenting progress to improve monitoring and outcomes.
