What believers are saying
- Sacramento occupational therapists get flexible hours: the school role is hybrid, 15-40 weekly hours, paying $47.50-$53.47 hourly.
- Entry-level behavior roles need no degree: Sacramento's trainee technician posting asks for a diploma or GED, paying $19.50-$26.13 hourly.
- Second-language use factors into pay: Detroit-area teacher and Troy speech therapist ranges weigh using one 50% of the time.
What critics are saying
- Expect to drive your own car: Sacramento's occupational therapy role requires personal auto insurance for classroom, clinic and home visits.
- Insurance-funded therapy needs approval: TES requires a physician's prescription and must document medical necessity before insurers pay.
- Expect noisy work settings: Sacramento's behavior technician posting lists moderate to loud noise and clients with diverse behaviors.
What makes Total Education Solutions unique
