Why Occupational Therapists in Tulsa Choose Tulsa Sunshine Center

There are plenty of occupational therapy jobs in Tulsa. Here's what makes this one different.

A Supportive Team That Makes Each Other Better

At Tulsa Sunshine Center, you're surrounded by specialized pediatric therapists who genuinely enjoy working together. Some of our clinicians have been in the field for more than fifteen years, and our collaborative environment encourages the open exchange of ideas. Ask a question, talk through a tricky case, or share a win. That's everyday life here.

Mission-Driven Work: Changing the World, One Child at a Time

That's our motto, and we mean it. Every session is a chance to help a child button a coat, hold a pencil, handle a noisy classroom, or get through a morning routine with more confidence. Our OTs evaluate and treat children with developmental delays, sensory processing differences, fine and gross motor needs, autism-related occupational needs, and school-related stress, using playful, individualized approaches.

Room to Grow Your Clinical Skills

We give our therapists room to use real clinical reasoning. You'll build your expertise across a wide range of pediatric diagnoses, learn from experienced colleagues, and sharpen your skills alongside a team that pushes each other to grow.

The Reward of Pediatric OT in a Specialized Clinic

There's nothing quite like watching a child master a skill they've been working toward for months. In a clinic dedicated entirely to children, you get to focus on what you love. Curious what a typical day looks like? Read our overview of what occupational therapists do daily.

Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Pediatric OT Careers Built on Teamwork

Great pediatric care is a team sport, and our OTs never have to go it alone.

Working Side by Side With Speech-Language Pathologists

Our occupational therapists work closely with our speech-language pathologists. They share insights, co-treat when it's appropriate, and build comprehensive, whole-child plans together. This day-to-day teamwork makes everyone a stronger clinician and creates a richer, more supportive place to work.

A Sister ABA Clinic Right Across the Street

The Sunshine Academy is our sister ABA clinic at 2208 West Detroit Street, directly across the street from Tulsa Sunshine Center. It's a separate company under common ownership, and our teams work hand in hand. For shared clients, OTs and ABA therapists align on goals, communicate regularly, and operate as one extended team. Few clinics can offer this kind of cross-discipline partnership right in the neighborhood.

You'll Never Practice in a Silo

As a new pediatric occupational therapist on our team, you'll have mentors, peers, and partners across disciplines who help you grow and deliver your best care. It's a big part of what makes these OT jobs in Tulsa, Oklahoma so rewarding.

A Trusted Name in Pediatric Therapy Since 2009

Tulsa Sunshine Center has been locally owned since 2009. Since then, our clinic has proudly served more than 500,000 appointments for children and families in Broken Arrow, Tulsa, and the surrounding communities.

That track record means you're joining a stable, well-established clinic with deep roots in the community and a reputation families already trust. For families just starting their journey, local resources like the Tulsa ABA Therapy Guide for parents and the Tulsa Autism Resources hub are helpful places to learn about ABA, autism support, and therapy options in the Tulsa area.

Smooth Operations So You Can Focus on Kids

We're proud of how well our clinic runs. Our operations are efficient, our workflows are streamlined, and our communication is clear, so you know what's on your schedule and who to go to when you need something.

Our systems and administrative support are built to handle the details so you can spend your energy where it matters most: with your clients. Full-time schedules are available Monday through Thursday or Monday through Friday, within clinic hours of 8am–7pm Monday–Thursday and 8am–6pm on Friday.

High Client Volume: Consistent Caseloads and Real Impact

A busy clinic is a great place to build a career. With a steady flow of families seeking pediatric occupational therapy, our OTs enjoy consistent caseloads and a full schedule.

That volume also means diverse clinical experience. You'll work with children of different ages and needs, from sensory processing and self-care skills to handwriting and fine motor challenges. See the kinds of concerns our families bring to us on our pediatric occupational therapy services page, and in recent posts like When Kids Struggle With Buttons, Zippers, and Scissors and When the Classroom Feels Too Loud. Every week, you'll make a real difference for many families.

Productivity-Based Pay: OT Employment in Tulsa, Oklahoma With High Earning Potential

At Tulsa Sunshine Center, your compensation is tied to productivity and performance, on a pay structure designed so therapists can earn a high income. It's transparent, it's fair, and it rewards hard work and quality care.

You're paid for every task you complete, not just direct treatment time:

  • Meetings

  • Supervision, including COTA supervision

  • Documentation and notes

  • Evaluations: the write-up is paid in addition to the evaluation session itself

That's a major advantage. You're compensated for the full scope of your professional work, so every productive hour counts toward your income.

Real results: Our OTs can make up to $100,000 a year.

That's proof the model works. Individual earnings depend on productivity, caseload, and performance. Full-time roles also include paid holidays, matched medical and dental, a 401(k), and bonus potential for high performers, as listed on our Employment page.
