My passion is patient care and education. I am a certified Occupational Therapy assistant with 25 years of experience who assists patients to achieve positive outcomes towards independent functioning.Education, knowledge and tools is important to Occupational Therapy. While implementing treatment plans, I simultaneously coach and empower patients and caregiver with coping and hands-on skills to influence positive outcomes. Demonstrating empathy and patience with families and caregivers is important to me. My style of occupational therapy is:- Practical clinical assessment to produce realistic therapy objectives.- Customized treatment plans for each patient and parent and caregiver. - Solutions balanced between skills development, exercises, orthotics, and modalities.- Teaching parents skills and methods.- Dynamic therapy that adapts to patients' progress or unique barriers.Glad to connect with OT practices, caregivers, families, and employers.
