I'm Amanda. I began my career in pediatrics working as a sensory-motor coach and as an adaptive swim instructor through Swim Angelfish. In 2017, I graduated from Tufts University with my Master's of Science in Occupational Therapy, and have been working in the field since. My experience is within private sensory clinics, school-based programs, and private home therapy.
Professionally, I focus on empowering families, through direct care and parent coaching, to best support their child's independence at home, at school, and in the community. I also use my time and skills often to advocate for children in their educational settings. My goal for every child and family within my practice is for children and parents alike to feel confident in their ability to navigate through daily challenges. |
