Are you a compassionate, neuroaffirming Occupational Therapist looking for meaningful and flexible work? Join our team!  We’re a trauma-informed, child-led practice that values relationship-based support and strives to understand each child through a lens of safety, autonomy, and regulation.

We are currently hiring for two positions.

Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) Provider (Contract position)

About the Role

We’re seeking part-time contract Occupational Therapists near the Greater Sacramento Area to conduct comprehensive school-based IEEs with a focus on each child’s unique strengths and support needs. This hybrid position includes a mix of remote work (report writing, interviews, team collaboration) and in-person school-based observations and assessments.

Responsibilities

  • Conduct OT assessments for IEEs, including:

    • Records review

    • School observations

    • Interviews with caregivers and school providers

    • Standardized and non-standardized assessments

  • Write strengths-based, neuroaffirming evaluation reports

  • Collaborate closely with a supportive, multidisciplinary team

  • Attend IEP meetings (virtually) to share findings clearly and accessibly

Qualifications

  • Licensed Occupational Therapist in California

  • Experience in pediatric and/or school-based settings

  • Strong understanding of sensory processing, motor development, and educational access

  • Familiarity with neuroaffirming and trauma-informed approaches

  • Excellent written communication, time management, and organization skills

What We Offer

  • Flexible scheduling that honors your capacity and availability

  • A collaborative, team-based model grounded in respect and relationship

  • Extensive training and mentorship in the IEE process and neuroaffirming practice

Pay Rate

We offer a tiered flat-rate model based on clinicians’ experience and support needs, designed to help each OT grow toward fully independent IEE work over time. Training, mentorship, and editorial support are integrated into each tier.

  • Tier 1: $1,575
    For clinicians new to the IEE process who require close training, guidance, and support.

  • Tier 2: $2,550
    For clinicians with moderate experience who manage many aspects independently but benefit from consultation and case review.

  • Tier 3: $3,450
    For experienced clinicians who complete high-quality IEEs independently with minimal support.

Rates may increase slightly based on travel requirements or case complexity.

Expected time per contract ranges from 25 to 35 hours, depending on the complexity of the IEE and the work pace of the OT.
