To the Parents

I've been wanted to make up a site that will provide parents a source and insight into what is going on in the OT classroom.  Many have asked me for things they can do at home with their child to connect the OT session at school, to the learning that continues at home.

As A result I hope to post weekly activities, or interesting articles on child development that may help connect that gap. 

Let me introduce myself a bit more.

I soon learned early in life that I wanted put my stamp in health care by becoming an Occupational Therapist. It became a magical desire to know I could help someone gain their quality of life back after an illness, injury, development delays, cognitive change, or surgery.

My patients battles have inspired me to challenge my knowledge to better serve them. I graduated with a Master in OT,& Minor in Psych from  Misericordia University in 2004. I later returned to Boston U for my PhD 2008.

My desire to live a healthy & full life have been greatly enhanced by entering into a wonderful marriage & the joys of motherhood. They have given me the "bones" to know the importance of balanced wellness.

I currently work in the hospital setting seeing a variety of patients from ortho, to CVA's, to Cancer diagnosis 3-4 times a week.  I also amhttp://about.me/meaghan.grace Crt in Lymphedema and Gerson Therapy.  Both of which I practice 2-3 a week in a wellness center.

In between this I volunteer at SFA 2-3 times a week to provide school based OT, and interpretative school time sessions.

Yes, it can be said that I do love my career dearly.  I feel overly blessed to be able to work with many wonderful people.  All with the DEAR DEAR support of my husband and two girls.

I look forward to working together, and watching your AMAZING children grow confidence in themselves and learning ability.
