A full-time occupational therapy position is available within a K-12 school district located in Riverside, CA.

Strong analytical skills are necessary to effectively use assessment data in supporting service recommendations and addressing parent concerns. The work hours are from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM.

• Experience working with students with mild to severe multiple disabilities
• Ability to manage a fluctuating caseload and work independently
