About the store
I am a Pediatric Occupational Therapist with a passion for supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs) through evidence-based, occupation-driven, client-centered, and holistic approaches. I developed the Transition to Success programming, lesson plans, and materials during my doctoral capstone experience to promote transition to adulthood success for individuals with IDDs while adhering to IDEA transition requirements to make this programming easily implementable in special education classrooms. Additional resources (to be added) have been developed to support the needs of all-age individuals with IDDs, which I have first-hand witnessed in occupational therapy settings and as a Skills Building Technician for a Medicaid Waiver Provider.
