Job Description | Therapists at NSIT play a key role in supporting neurodivergent students by integrating therapy-informed strategies into the daily learning experience. Whether specializing in Occupational Therapy (OT) or Speech and Language Pathology (SLP), Therapists work directly with students, collaborate with educators, and contribute to a dynamic, student-centered learning environment. This is an integrated, frontline role. Therapists are active members of the school team, supporting students in both one-on-one and group settings while also contributing to staff training, planning, and collaboration. |
