About The Position

At Tutor Me Education, we are revolutionizing the way students learn, and we're seeking passionate teachers and tutors with special education experience to provide 1:1 in-home tutoring in San Valley, CA! If you're committed to making a difference in the lives of students with special needs and helping them achieve academic success, we want to hear from you! We are seeking a credentialed Occupational Therapist (OT) or Physical Therapist (PT) to support a student with multiple disabilities who has significant physical and developmental needs. The student is nonverbal and communicates through facial expressions, prolonged visual attention to objects, and individualized behavioral cues, requiring a provider who is highly attentive and skilled in interpreting subtle communication signals. The student requires therapeutic support focused on improving functional access, participation, and independence within daily routines and learning environments. The OT/PT will collaborate with the instructional team to support mobility, positioning, adaptive strategies, and functional engagement. A structured, consistent, and patient approach is essential, as the student relies heavily on routine, predictability, and supportive interactions to remain regulated and engaged in learning activities.
