Occupational Therapist Email Phone: (920) 794-7522 Profile: Hi! I am the Occupational therapist for the Two Rivers School District which includes two elementary schools, a middle school, and a high school. Occupational therapy is a related service in the schools. A related service means the students I work with are already receiving a different special education service. I work with students ranging from ages 3-21 years old. In Two Rivers, Occupational Therapy services are delivered to students by myself and my certified Occupational Therapy assistant, Jody Garcia. Together we work collaboratively to help meet the educational needs of our students. I have been working in the school setting since 1997. I have experience working with children in Occupational Therapy with Autism, Batten's Disease, Cerebral Palsy, Developmental Delays, Down’s Syndrome, Muscular Dystrophy, Seizure Disorders, Tourettes Syndrome, as well as cognitive, learning, and emotional disabilities, just to name a few. These students may require additional development or refining of skills for their fine motor skills, improving their handwriting, eye hand coordination, sensory integration, and daily living skills. Educational Background: - graduated from Concordia University Mequon, WI with Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy
- graduated from UW-LaCrosse with Master of Education Professional Development
- continuing education courses in the areas of Autism, Handwriting, Technology, and Sensory Integration.
Licenses: - National Board of Certification for Occupational Therapy
