Play 2 Progress Therapeutic Program Assistant Internship (Advanced) - Paid

Play 2 Progress offers a Therapeutic Program Assistant Internship for individuals seeking advanced, hands-on experience with Sensory Integration and the P2P method.

• Take a lead role in prepping materials and managing hands-on engagement with children
• Support a collaborative, play-based environment that fosters learning and growth

Learning & Professional Development:

• Receive direct mentorship from OTs, who will teach you about the P2P method and core concepts of Sensory Integration
• Gain practical experience working with children in a therapeutic setting
• Develop skills in individualized support, group facilitation, and activity execution

Requirements:

• Paid position with a structured schedule during summer camp and/or school year group program hours
• Commitment to active participation, reliability, and a passion for working with children
• Ideal for students or recent graduates preparing for OT graduate programs
• Comfortable engaging in hands-on, play-based activities

At Play 2 Progress, we are passionate about Occupational Therapy and Sensory Integration. Our goal is to inspire the next generation of therapists by providing meaningful, hands-on learning opportunities and direct mentorship from experienced OTs.
