Jennifer’s main goal is to make personal connections with each child and his or her family through direct therapy and education.

Pediatric Occupational therapy often includes treating children with birth defects/ injuries, sensory processing disorders, autism, traumatic brain injuries, childhood arthritis, multiple sclerosis, spina bifida, cerebral palsy, Tourette’s, Down’s syndrome, burn injuries, developmental delays, and many other conditions. Our goal is to help children and families live life to the fullest using play and meaningful activities during everyday routines. We use a family/child-centered approach and make it a priority to help families incorporate concepts learned in therapy into their daily lives at home and in the community.
