Teach With Heart. Empower Every Learner.

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. You help students discover their strengths, find their voice, and build confidence in who they are and who they can become.

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. Together, we can create a learning environment where all students are supported, included, and celebrated.

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.

That's why our culture is built on collaboration, encouragement, and continuous professional growth . From your very first day, you'll have access to the tools, resources, and a dedicated team focused on helping you thrive.

Join IEP Therapy and discover the difference a truly supportive workplace can make.
