Occupational Therapist

Sayegh Pediatric Therapy Services, P.C., Whitehall, PA, United States


Company Description
Sayegh Pediatric Therapy Services has been committed to helping children achieve their fullest potential since its founding in 2005. We provide early intervention and pediatric therapy for children from birth to young adulthood, utilizing a family-centered approach that integrates therapy into daily life. Offering a range of services including speech, occupational, physical, vision, and special instruction, we focus on fostering independence, enhancing communication, and driving meaningful progress. Our mission is rooted in empowering families and offering comprehensive support to help children grow, connect, and succeed.

Role Description
We are seeking experienced and compassionate Pediatric Occupational Therapists to join our Early Intervention team, serving children from birth to age three. We offer flexible full-time and part-time opportunities, making this role ideal for clinicians returning to the workforce, those transitioning from full-time schedules, or therapists seeking supplemental income with meaningful impact.

In this role, you will provide services within Pennsylvania’s Early Intervention model, delivering support in children’s natural environments including homes and community settings. You will evaluate developmental needs and design individualized, family-centered intervention plans that align with each child’s Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP).

Occupational therapists in this role focus on building functional skills through everyday routines, supporting areas such as feeding, sensory processing, self-regulation, fine and gross motor development, and early play skills. A core component of this position is coaching caregivers and empowering families with strategies they can embed into daily activities to promote ongoing progress.

Day-to-day responsibilities include conducting developmental evaluations, implementing evidence-based interventions, documenting progress in accordance with state guidelines, and collaborating with a multidisciplinary Early Intervention team. You will play a key role in helping families navigate developmental milestones while fostering each child’s independence and participation in daily life.
We value flexibility, autonomy, and a supportive team culture that allows therapists to deliver high-quality, relationship-based care.
