Pediatric Occupational Therapist Position

Arbor Psychology Group has multiple locations in South-East Michigan. The Pediatric Occupational Therapy position is for the Ann Arbor location only.

About Arbor Psychology Group

Arbor Psychology Group is well-respected throughout the community for providing high quality therapeutic services across the lifespan- from pregnancy/infant mental health through adulthood. Our therapists frequently share cases- working with multiple family members- with opportunities for rich connections and collaborations. Our mental health team often works with our speech-language therapist and occupational therapists to provide multidisciplinary, comprehensive treatment. Our therapists value ongoing professional development and life-long learning. We’re constantly asking ourselves: “How can we learn more and do better for the people we care for?” “How can we make the most impact on the world- in individual sessions and the greater community?”

We’ve heard time and again from families that they are struck by the combination of warmth, professionalism, and individualized care they receive. Our team’s strongest values are to treat patients with compassion, acceptance, and intentionality. This means therapists spend significant amounts of time researching best practices, collaborating with colleagues for new ideas, planning their sessions, and speaking with other providers. Patients receive a therapist’s devoted attention within their therapy-session and are thought about outside of that time as well.

Position

An occupational therapist who will thrive at Arbor Psychology Group is someone who:

  • Genuinely adores kids and will go out of their way to build a strong relationship
  • Totally geeks out on feeding therapy: loves talking about feeding, reading and thinking about feeding, learning new feeding strategies, and of course- helping patients to learn to love eating.
  • Loves collaboration, learning from others, and supporting others. Someone who can’t wait to share ideas or get feedback on tricky cases. Someone who is open and non-defensive. When they are presented with an idea they haven’t thought about before, their reaction is an eager, “Tell me more!”
  • Compassionately gives and accepts honest feedback and has clear boundaries.
  • Recognizes that the role of occupational therapist extends well beyond the therapy-hour. They will dedicate time to the preparation of cases, meeting with other providers, and documentation.

Responsibilities

The Occupational Therapist will be responsible for treating infants through adolescents with a wide variety of diagnoses; many of cases will focus on feeding. The OT will provide direct patient care utilizing evidence based practices and will work collaboratively with patients, caregivers, other members of APG’s mental health team, and outside providers. The majority of the work will be intervention/treatment with some assessment and school consultation.

Time Commitment

This position is a flexible part-time position. The OT will contract for a minimum of 12 clinical (face-to-face) hours to fall either within 3-7 pm on the weekdays or any time on a week-end day.
