- Support skills such as personal hygiene, food preparation, home organization, money management, community access, transportation, and safe technology use.
- Encourage independence without completing tasks for the participant.
- Follow individualized goals, support plans, medical considerations, and safety procedures.
- Use visual supports, adaptive tools, and environmental modifications when appropriate.
- Follow confidentiality and incident-reporting requirements.
Qualifications
Applicants must have either:
- At least two years of experience working with the population being served; or
- Comprehensive child-specific training that prepares them to competently support the assigned participant.
Additional requirements include:
- Participation in training related to each participant’s strengths, goals, needs, support plans, medical needs, and culture.
- Willingness to participate in ongoing training and continuing education.
Experience may come from caregiving, education, childcare, special education, community programs, healthcare, behavioral support, and/or other disability-related settings.

At Kid Power Pediatric Occupational Therapy, we believe children thrive when they feel safe, connected, and empowered to be themselves. We are an occupational therapist-owned pediatric practice serving families in Kenosha and Lake County through individualized, play-based occupational therapy.
Our approach is neurodiversity-affirming, child-led, and sensory-rich. We build on each child’s strengths and interests to support regulation, confidence, independence, and participation in everyday life. From navigating daily routines to exploring new foods or developing motor skills, we partner with children and caregivers to make progress meaningful to each family.
Connection is at the heart of Kid Power...with the children we serve, their families, and one another. We value curiosity, creativity, collaboration, and compassionate care. Our clinic is a place where our team can bring their ideas, continue learning, and make a difference through purposeful play.
If you’re passionate about honoring each child’s individuality and helping families feel supported, we’d love to meet you!
