Connections Therapy, LLC
Playing To Learn
I am a pediatric Occupational Therapist, offering therapy services at affordable prices to children and families in the central Wisconsin area. I provide occupational therapy evaluation, intervention and/or consultation to improve developmental skills for successful participation in home, school and community environments. I believe that children excel in therapy when it feels more like play than work, and strive to help children meet developmental milestones in a variety of settings that facilitate learning and growth. I will work closely with physicians, health agencies and community resources so that the child's needs are being met in the most complete and comprehensive manner as possible.
Background
I have worked as a pediatric occupational therapist for 18+ years in a variety of settings, including home, clinic, and school based therapy settings. My experience, in combination with training in many therapeutic interventions, allows me to provide individualized and functional treatment to children of all ages. I enjoy working with children and their families to facilitate successful participation in natural play, learning, movement and social experiences.
