    Description

    At IEP Therapy, a proud Point Quest partner, we believe that special education teachers are not just educators — they are advocates, encouragers, and everyday heroes.

    In the classroom, your impact goes far beyond academics.

    If you're passionate about meeting students where they are and walking beside them as they grow — academically, socially, and emotionally — we invite you to bring your heart, your skills, and your unwavering dedication to a team that sees every child's potential and works to help them achieve it.

    At IEP Therapy, a Point Quest Partner,support isn't just a value—it's the foundation of everything we do.

    We believe that when therapists feel truly supported, they're empowered to make the greatest impact in the lives of the students and schools they serve.

    To be considered for this role, candidates must hold a valid Professional Educator License (PEL) with a Learning Behavior Specialist (LBS) endorsement issued by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE).
