$45–$52/hour | W-2 (full benefits included) Or $62/hour | 1099 Location: Statewide Delaware (New Castle, Kent & Sussex Counties) Schedule: Flexible | Home & Community-Based ABOUT THE ROLE We're hiring Occupational Therapists to deliver early intervention services to infants and toddlers (birth to age 3) and their families across Delaware through the state's Birth to Three (B23) Early Intervention Program under IDEA Part C. This is not a clinic or school-based role. You'll be visiting families in their homes and community settings, including childcare centers, parks, and grandparents' homes, wherever the child's daily life happens. Your primary partner is the caregiver, not just the child. Delaware's B23 program uses an evidence-based coaching model: your role is to build family capacity, embed sensory and motor strategies into everyday routines, and empower caregivers to support their child's development throughout the day. The goal is not to replace what the family does. It is to make what the family does more effective. If you are drawn to relationship-centered, family-focused work with very young children and you are comfortable working independently in community settings, this role is built for you. THE SETTING Services are delivered in natural environments as required under IDEA Part C, meaning the child's home, daycare, or community. You will carry a caseload across one or more Delaware counties, working alongside service coordinators and multidisciplinary EI teams to implement IFSPs (Individualized Family Service Plans). Delaware is a small state, but your caseload may span multiple counties. Reliable transportation and comfort with independent, community-based practice are essential.

The first three years of life represent an unmatched window for developmental change, and the research consistently shows that services delivered during this period produce outcomes that later intervention cannot replicate. As a B23 OT, you are not running isolated fine motor sessions. You are helping a child eat breakfast more independently, engage with siblings during play, and participate in the routines that make up a family's day. You are giving parents the tools and confidence to support their child every hour you are not in the room. You will build real relationships with families over time, see meaningful progress, and do work that stays with you.
