Summary
I have over 5 years of experience working as an occupational therapist with students of various ages and with various diagnosis. Among these would include children with Autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, hearing and visual impairments, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, sensory processing, and emotional and mental health issues. Having worked in early intervention, post-acute settings and schools make me a well rounded and knowledgeable clinician. My greatest strengths are being personable and building strong rapport with the patients and families I work with.
