Play abilities for Sensational Kids is a dynamic, multi-disciplinary pediatric clinic specializing in occupational, physical, and speech therapy. We provide personalized, innovative, and client-centered therapy services to children with neurodevelopmental disabilities, including developmental delays, autism, and sensory processing disorders. Through engaging, play-based therapy, our team fosters growth, confidence, and independence, ensuring that every child receives the support they need to thrive.

At Play abilities, we believe in doing better--for children, families, and the future of therapy. Our journey began with a simple but powerful idea: to break down the barriers that prevent children from receiving the services they need and deserve. We are committed to creating a world where therapy isn't limited by funding or structure but driven by possibility and passion.

Our team at Play abilities doesn't just provide therapy--we build a movement that redefines what pediatric therapy can be. Our work is guided by five core values that shape our culture and mission, and every day, our team brings these values to life:

Passionate About Making a Difference - We are energized through serving others. Every action we take is driven by our commitment to improving the lives of children and families.

Learn and Innovate - We strive for personal and professional growth to continuously better serve our company and community. We embrace change and new ideas.

Do the Right Thing - We prioritize relationships and make all decisions, especially people decisions, with integrity. Trust is at the heart of everything we do.

We Build a Village - Connection is the foundation of our services. We create meaningful relationships, ensuring families and professionals feel supported every step of the way.

Share Joy and Have Fun - Therapy should be empowering and joyful. We help families achieve and maintain "joie de vivre"--the joy of life--through our work.

At Play abilities, we are seeking a Pediatric Occupational Therapist to bring our mission to life through personalized, creative, and play-based therapy. This is a meaningful opportunity for someone passionate about working with children and families, using innovative techniques to design individualized treatment plans that foster growth, independence, and confidence. You'll manage the therapy experience for each child, ensuring consistent support throughout their journey.

While sessions are primarily one-on-one, you'll also engage with team members during shared activities to enhance each child's experience.

In this role, you'll help children develop the foundational skills they need to thrive in everyday life--building independence in areas such as fine motor coordination, sensory processing, emotional regulation, and self-care. Whether you're adapting tasks to fit a child's unique strengths or introducing creative strategies to promote success, your expertise and care will make a lasting impact. Every day, you'll play a vital part in shaping brighter futures and expanding the reach of our mission in the lives of children and their families.
