Being an occupational therapist means assessing every individual child and giving them the tools to meet their specific needs. This doesn’t end with the child, but encompasses understanding the child’s family’s needs, as well.

When kid’s are having fun, they are always willing to participate in their therapy. And when they participate, they make progress. Because of this, I incorporate toys and activities that are both a lot of fun and target the child’s particular therapeutic goals.

After graduating with a masters in occupational therapy in 2006 from The University of Toronto, I moved to NYC and began my career. I have worked in a variety of settings, including schools, sensory gyms and homes. I also keep my skills and knowledge up to date through continuing education courses. Working in these multiple settings has provided me with a range of experiences that allows me to work effectively with a wide range of developmental challenges and a diverse population.
