SLP/OT/PT: Pediatric Outpatient Clinic

APT is looking for quality oriented and compassionate Speech Language Pathologists to work in a multi-setting, pediatric environment: Outpatient Clinic, Teletherapy, and Early Intervention/Home Therapy. APTs opportunities are unique because we have three different settings to offer our therapists, all under ONE banner.

We pride ourselves in having a top notch, multi-disciplinary, collaborative team of therapists working in all three settings throughout the Atlanta Metro Area. Our oldest division, Early Intervention/Home Therapy, has been providing multidisciplinary therapy services in the natural environment since 2002. We have been running our outpatient clinics since 2008, with plans to grow our footprint over the next few years.

If you are a therapist who: enjoys working with children, wants access to flexible schedules, wants a Full-Time or Part-Time or PRN position in any or all of the above setting(s), and/or wants the option of treating in a pediatric multi-setting environment, Atlanta Pediatric Therapy is the perfect fit for you!

Our clinic is currently located at 6035 Peachtree Rd Suite C-120, Doraville, GA 30360. We will be opening up a second clinic in Gwinnett in December, with opportunities to work at either or both locations!
