What is a pediatric OT?

A Pediatric Occupational Therapist (OT) helps children develop the skills needed for daily activities, school tasks, and overall independence. They work with kids who have physical, sensory, or cognitive challenges, using therapy to improve motor skills, coordination, and self-care abilities. Pediatric OTs collaborate with families, teachers, and healthcare professionals to create personalized treatment plans. Their goal is to enhance a child's ability to participate fully in everyday life.

What does a typical day look like for a pediatric OT, and how do they collaborate with other professionals?

A typical day for a Pediatric Occupational Therapist involves evaluating children's functional abilities, developing individualized treatment plans, and conducting therapy sessions tailored to each child's needs. Pediatric OTs regularly consult and coordinate with parents, teachers, speech and physical therapists, and pediatricians to create a holistic approach to care. Documentation, progress reporting, and adapting interventions based on each child's progress are also key components of the daily routine. Collaboration with other professionals not only enhances outcomes for each child, but also ensures that care is consistent and integrated across all aspects of their environment.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a pediatric OT, and why are they important?

To excel as a Pediatric Occupational Therapist (OT), you need a degree in occupational therapy, state licensure, and specialized knowledge of pediatric development and intervention strategies. Familiarity with standardized assessment tools, documentation software, and therapeutic equipment designed for children is essential. Strong interpersonal skills, creativity, and patience help build rapport with young patients and their families. These competencies are crucial for delivering effective, child-centered care and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to achieve developmental goals.

At Cortica, we believe every child deserves care that sees the whole person—not just a diagnosis. Our Occupational Therapists work alongside Speech-Language Pathologists, Behavior Analysts, Physicians, Mental Health Clinicians, and other specialists to create truly integrated treatment plans that help children thrive.

  • Career growth within a rapidly expanding organization
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits
  • 401(k) with company match and rapid vesting
  • Paid holidays, wellness days, PTO, and referral bonuses
What You'll Do
As an Occupational Therapist at Cortica, you'll help children build meaningful life skills through individualized, engaging therapy.
You'll:
  • Complete comprehensive occupational therapy evaluations using standardized and dynamic assessments
  • Develop individualized treatment plans that reflect each child's strengths, interests, and goals

  • Collaborate closely with families and an interdisciplinary clinical team to provide integrated care
  • Participate in co-treatment sessions when clinically appropriate
  • Educate caregivers with practical home strategies that support continued progress
  • Maintain documentation and billing that supports high-quality care
  • Contribute ideas that help strengthen and grow our clinical programs
Our productivity expectation is 26 direct patient care hours per week, allowing dedicated time for documentation, collaboration, training, and team meetings.
We're Looking For
  • Current California Occupational Therapy License
  • Master's degree in Occupational Therapy
  • Passion for working with children and their families
  • Interest in interdisciplinary collaboration
  • Growth mindset and eagerness to learn
  • Experience with pediatric therapy preferred, but clinicians with strong pediatric foundations are encouraged to apply
Why Cortica?
Our mission is simple: to design and deliver life-changing care—one child, one family, and one community at a time.
We foster a collaborative, inclusive culture where clinicians are empowered to learn, innovate, and make a lasting impact. Every discipline has a voice, every teammate is valued, and every child receives care tailored to their unique strengths.
If you're looking for a place where you can grow professionally while making a meaningful difference every day, we'd love to connect with you.
