Ray of Sunshine Pediatric Therapy, LLC
Fort Smith, AR Full Time | Part Time
POSTED ON 9/20/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 11/19/2026

Be the reason a kid believes they can.

At Ray of Sunshine, therapy isn't something we do to kids; it's something we build with them. We're a fast-growing pediatric practice serving 300 children and families in our community through child-led occupational, physical, and speech therapy. We're looking for an OT who wants more than a caseload, who wants to be part of a team that actually has each other's backs.

Why therapists stay here:

  • A caseload that makes sense. We protect your schedule so you can actually be present with each kid, not racing the clock.
  • A culture you can feel. Real Talk Fridays, a running recognition wall, and a team that celebrates wins together, this isn't corporate therapy.
  • Room to grow. We're expanding fast (new school contracts, new specialty services, a growing team), and we invest in developing leaders from within, not just filling seats.
  • Flexibility that respects your life. Choose part-time or full-time, with a schedule built around you.
  • An owner who's in it with you. Our founder is a practicing therapist too. She knows what a hard day at 3pm feels like, and she leads accordingly.

What you'll do:

  • Conduct evaluations and build individualized treatment plans for children with developmental delays, autism, and other pediatric diagnoses.
  • Deliver hands-on, child-led therapy that meets each kid exactly where they are.
  • Work alongside our Speech and PT teams to keep care coordinated and consistent.
  • Partner with families, giving them real tools and real hope for progress at home.
  • Help shape our clinical culture as we grow, your voice matters here, not just your hours.

What you bring:

  • A valid OT license (or license-eligible).
  • Experience with pediatrics, autism, or developmental disabilities strongly preferred; new grads with a passion for pediatrics are welcome to apply.
  • A collaborative spirit and genuine warmth with kids and families.

Benefits:
Mileage and travel reimbursement, continuing education credits, professional development support, referral bonuses, flexible scheduling, and real opportunities for advancement as we grow.
