Summary
As a caring and versatile Pediatric Occupational Therapist, I specialize in creating targeted treatment plans and parent coaching to support the diverse needs of clients with disabilities, disorders, and emotional and behavioral challenges. I often use video games and tabletop games in my treatment session to build and strengthen my clients' skills, self-esteem, and interests. In addition, I encourage and provide opportunities for movement and play with peer groups to practice social problems in a positive environment. With a focus on evidence-based practices, I develop individualized benchmarks to help clients achieve personal confidence and growth in their fine motor, visual motor, and social skills. Now seeking a non-traditional opportunity, I am excited to merge my passion for helping clients reach their full potential with my love for gaming and virtual reality, aiming to make a significant impact on their lives and enhance the therapeutic experience. I am confident in my ability to provide exceptional care and positively impact the lives of those I serve.
