Physical therapy Assistant: North Little Rock & West Little Rock

As a Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA), you will work under the direction of a licensed Physical Therapist to help implement individualized treatment plans for students with a variety of physical and developmental needs. This position allows you to make a meaningful impact while working collaboratively with teachers, special education staff, families, and other therapy disciplines.

  • Assist with gait training, transfers, stair navigation, adaptive equipment use, and gross motor skill development
  • Support student access to classrooms, playgrounds, PE, cafeterias, buses, and other school environments
  • Collaborate closely with Physical Therapists, teachers, aides, nurses, and parents to support student success
  • Monitor student progress and communicate observations to supervising therapists
