Pediatric Occupational Therapist or Assistant
At Wonderment Therapies, we inspire wonderment, curiosity, and creative thinking through therapies that engage the heart and body, and enliven the spirit of persons we care for. We are achieving this by having YOU partner with children and their families to achieve their biggest dreams and goals. What makes us different is in addition to our trained therapists, we have four magical horses and a spunky mini aussie that we will train you to use in helping the kids you serve (if you’re not already trained). We also have access to a beautiful indoor and outdoor arena space surrounded by green grass and rolling plains.
Our outpatient clinic, located in the heart of Dickinson, offers speech and language therapy in addition to occupational therapy. We have five individual treatment rooms and one large therapy gym complete with sensory equipment and every game you could imagine!
Our team values collaboration and friendship. We have fun both at work and out in the community, taking part in family fun days, rodeos, county fairs, and various charity events bringing people together to celebrate shared traditions.
