Occupational Therapist

Build a Career That Changes Lives

At Brain & Body Autism Center (BBAC), you'll do more than provide therapy—you'll help change the trajectory of a child's life. You'll celebrate first words, first friendships, first successful days in a mainstream classroom, and the countless milestones that shape a child's future. Here, you'll have the rare opportunity to follow children over many years, witnessing their growth into confident, independent adolescents and young adults.

About Brain & Body Autism Center

BBAC is not a traditional clinic. We are a highly collaborative, multidisciplinary developmental program built on the neurobiology of autism and child development. Our integrated model combines Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, movement, gymnastics, music, piano, academics, school support, and life skills into one cohesive, child-centered program.

We intentionally keep our program small because meaningful change happens through deep relationships, individualized care, and close collaboration. Approximately 70% of children who begin our program early transition into mainstream education, making BBAC one of the few places where clinicians can truly witness long-term transformation.

Help Build the Future of Autism Intervention

This is an exciting time to join BBAC.

This fall, we're launching a collaborative inclusion program with a private school to develop innovative models for successfully mainstreaming neurodiverse students.

We're also developing an AI-powered Augmentative & Alternative Communication (AAC) platform, where clinicians collaborate directly with engineers and designers to shape the future of communication technology using real clinical insight.

If you're excited about creating new solutions, not simply following existing therapy frameworks, you'll feel at home here.
