Whole Child Therapy was founded by husband-and-wife occupational therapists Dennis and Ina Necesito with one promise: every family gets the same holistic, effective, caring therapy we'd want for our own children. That promise built a practice where clinicians are respected, kids are seen as whole people (not symptom checklists), and growth for both patients and therapists is the default.

We offer pediatric OT, speech therapy, feeding therapy, assistive technology, AAC services, and social skills programs across two Inland Empire clinics and school partnerships throughout the region.

What We're Looking For

• Active California COTA license (new grads welcome; fieldwork counts)
• Genuine love for working with kids
• Strong communication skills with families, colleagues, and supervising OTRs
• Organization and time-management chops to juggle a caseload and keep documentation current
• Adaptability. Kids are unpredictable. You roll with it.
• Pediatric experience preferred, not required
