Somewhere Over the Spectrum is a holistic Autism Center with 2 locations in Berlin, CT with a very unique and individualized approach to Autism Services. We are looking to add a full time salaried Pediatric Occupational Therapist to our team that is just as unique and holistic as our approach. We take a neurodivergent affirmative approach to supporting our children here and finding the best fit for our company is of the utmost importance, so we do want to take time to build a relationship and ensure that our intentions and approach align.
Somewhere Over the Spectrum offers a variety of different programs, our main program being our Center-Based Early Childhood Autism Program for children ages 16 months to 6 years of age, in which children are immersed in a naturalistic environment that mirrors that which they would encounter in a typical preschool or Kindergarten setting. Children participate alongside their peers in circle time and exploratory centers and more in their daily schedule, with their ABA Therapist by their side. We have enclosed outdoor areas filled with sensory materials and imaginative play equipment, as well as indoor movement areas to support our children’s sensory and developmental needs.
This position will be center-based within our two centers here in Berlin. The schedule will be Monday-Friday from 8:00-4:00. This position will allow the interested candidate a wonderful platform for growth and evolution of their skills and experience in working with pediatric clients.
