At The Inspired Community Project (TICP), we believe therapy should do more than check a box — it should change lives, empower families, and help children access their world with confidence.
We’re not just providing services — we’re reimagining early childhood support through an equity-centered, family-focused, and deeply collaborative model.
We’re looking for a passionate Occupational Therapist (OTR) who loves working with children, values teamwork, and wants to be part of something meaningful from the ground up.
Whether you’re an experienced clinician or a newer therapist ready to grow — if you believe in neurodiversity-affirming, accessible care, this could be your professional home.
