Meghan, OT/L

Meghan is a pediatric occupational therapist who’s incredibly excited about helping children learn, grow, and achieve their goals. She loves to use a play-based, child led approach to connect with clients to engage in therapy. She believes it is important for every member of a child’s team to be involved in treatment planning and implementation of home programming. By applying different approaches to meet the individual needs of her clients, she provides parents/caregivers with “a-ha” moments and problem-solving strategies to help their children reach meaningful outcomes.
