At PHILLIPS Programs, occupational and physical therapies are provided by licensed physical and occupational therapists in school. These jobs and their services are delivered in accordance with a student’s individualized education plan (IEP) and are provided in the form of individual, group, and/or consultation.

Occupational and physical therapy services endeavor to increase a student’s ability to access their educational curriculum as fully as possible by identifying adaptations and/or solutions to gross motor, fine motor, self-care, visual motor, visual perceptual, sensory processing, and/or motor coordination barriers in the educational setting.

Occupational and physical therapists share information and integrate their specialized knowledge in child development, motor learning, and task performance to provide a unique perspective within the educational environment.

Everything we do at PHILLIPS Programs is centered around the students. If you are a licensed physical or occupational therapist looking for jobs in schools in the metro-DC area, check out our open positions and competitive benefits package.
