Why You’ll Love This Job
Our practice is looking for a rock star to join our team. You need to love people
and want to make a huge difference for them. Our team works to revolutionize the
way people see the world (literally and figuratively). If you want to be part of a
team of people who works hard, have a growth mindset, and love people, we
would love to meet you. People with training as occupational therapy assistants
will have a preference. Those who have done any type of learning therapy or brain
training or neuro-rehabilitative therapy will also have a preference. The job entails
helping patients who have vision-related learning problems, or patients who have
vision problems after a stroke or brain injury. The job is very similar to the work
done by occupational therapy assistants.
Our practice is made up of a team of talented and caring people who love people
and love helping our patients improve their lives with better vision. Our doctors
specialize in helping patients regain function in their lives and work closely with
our therapists to collaborate in making patients better. We treat both adults and
children through 45-minute sessions once a week or twice a week.
The therapists’ coach patients through activities that teach patients how to better
use their eyes and integrate their brain and eyes. We provide on-the-job training
and opportunities for further education and certification. We would love to share
more about it with you if you are interested.
