SAR Academy’s Pisgah program is seeking a full-time licensed Occupational Therapist for the 2026–2027 school year to work in our Lower and Middle School divisions.
Pisgah is SAR’s integrated support program, combining intensive support with the benefits of learning within a general education setting. Students receive support from a full-time Special Education teacher and related service providers while remaining in mainstream classrooms, allowing for both strong peer modeling and individualized support.
The Pisgah OT works collaboratively with a multidisciplinary team including Special Education teachers, assistants, psychologists, and Speech-Language Pathologists. The OT supports students’ fine motor development, sensory processing, self-regulation, and participation in classroom routines and academic tasks through both direct services and consultation.
Experience supporting sensory regulation, fine and visual motor skills, handwriting, executive functioning, and adaptive skills is strongly preferred. Familiarity with school-based service models, teacher consultation, and interpreting OT evaluations is important.

– Maintain a full-time caseload
