About the store
I am an occupational therapist who has worked in a variety of schools and private therapy clinics since 2005. I have extensive experience with a wide range of students with varying developmental levels. As an occupational therapist I work with students to support their functioning in the classroom; whether it be to strengthen motor skills, support regulation, or help with self-care tasks. I often consult with schools and teachers to develop strategies to help students best access their curriculum. I am always exploring ways to best help my students!
