What are the responsibilities and job description for the Pediatric Occupational Therapist position at Crown Speech Therapy, LLC?
Pediatric Occupational Therapist (OT) – Full Time
**Crown Speech Therapy | Merrillville, IN**
**$75,000–$90,000/year | Full-Time**
Crown Speech Therapy is looking for a full-time Occupational Therapist to join our growing pediatric therapy team in Merrillville, Indiana.
We are a therapist-owned pediatric private practice providing speech, occupational, and feeding therapy to children and families in Northwest Indiana. We're looking for an OT who enjoys working with children, values clinical independence, and wants to be part of a collaborative team without the feel of a large healthcare system.
Why You'll Love Working Here
**Choose your own schedule.** Our full-time therapists have the flexibility to design their own weekly schedule as long as they provide 40 hours of availability. Whether you prefer earlier days, later days, or a schedule that varies throughout the week, we want you to have a schedule that works for your life while meeting the needs of your caseload.
You'll also have:
* A salaried W-2 position with consistent income
* Paid time off
* Continuing education support
* Autonomy in how you plan and deliver treatment
* Administrative support so you can focus on clinical work
* A collaborative speech, OT, and feeding therapy team
* Opportunities for professional growth as our pediatric therapy program expands
* A locally owned private-practice environment where you know the people you work with
What You'll Do
As a pediatric OT, you'll evaluate and treat children with a variety of developmental and functional needs. Treatment areas may include:
* Fine motor and visual-motor skills
* Sensory processing and regulation
* Activities of daily living and self-care
* Motor planning and coordination
* Handwriting and school-readiness skills
* Play and participation
* Feeding-related skills, when appropriate to your training and experience
* Parent/caregiver education and home programming
You'll complete evaluations, develop individualized plans of care, provide ongoing treatment, document services, and collaborate with families and other members of each child's therapy team.
What We're Looking For
* Master's or Doctoral degree in Occupational Therapy
* Current Indiana OT license or eligibility for Indiana licensure
* NBCOT certification
* Strong communication and documentation skills
* Dependability and good time-management skills
* Ability to work independently while collaborating with a multidisciplinary team
* Pediatric experience preferred, but **new graduates are welcome to apply**
Most importantly, we're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys working with children and families and wants to continue developing as a pediatric clinician.
Schedule
This is a full-time salaried position with **40 hours of weekly availability**.
Rather than assigning every therapist the same predetermined schedule, we allow clinicians to choose the schedule that works best for them while maintaining 40 hours of availability each week.
We believe clinicians should have meaningful autonomy in their work. In return, we value accountability, timely documentation, dependable attendance, and excellent care for our families.
Compensation
**$75,000–$90,000 annually, based on experience**
Compensation is determined based on relevant experience, clinical skills, and overall fit for the position.

We value **clinical quality, independence, collaboration, and accountability** — and we believe good clinicians should be trusted to do their jobs without unnecessary micromanagement.
If you're an Occupational Therapist looking for a pediatric position with schedule flexibility, clinical autonomy, and a collaborative team, we'd love to hear from you.
