Occupational Therapy Assistant

Our Occupational Therapy Assistant (OTA) treats select clients with ASD, developmental delay and sensory processing disorders.  They are assessed by an Occupational Therapist first, and an OTA treatment program is designed to be implemented at their treatment sessions by an OTA.  The OTA works closely with the OT if any concerns arise, and they are reviewed yearly, or earlier if needed.
