The McCarton Foundation is a non-profit organization on a mission to bring exceptional treatment and services to children with autism. We believe in the ability that exists within every child who has autism, and that all children deserve the opportunity to reach their full potential. Over the past two decades we’ve transformed the lives of thousands of children from around the globe through the McCarton Center for Developmental Pediatrics, the McCarton School for children with autism, and the Children’s Academy for children with speech and language learning delays.

We utilize the McCarton Integrated Model, which combines speech and language therapy, fine and gross motor therapy, sensory integration therapy, socialization with peers, developmental play skills and applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy.

Now we're launching our new early intervention center in the Bronx providing services for infants and toddlers diagnosed with autism and other developmental disabilities in our beautiful new facility in the West Farms area. We are excited to be able to bring our exceptional method of treatment to children and families in our city’s most underserved communities.

We are currently seeking Occupational Therapists to provide direct Early Intervention services to children from Birth to 3 years of age in a home setting. Interested individuals should have a strong background in working with young children and have knowledge of the evaluation and treatment of infants and toddlers.
