Sunny Day Therapy's Blog- Helping Children & Caregivers Shine, Do, and Thrive

I’m am an English major turned occupational therapist!  I love my job. I am board certified in pediatrics.  I am a certified infant massage instructor.  I have specialized training in reflexes.  I attended Eastern Kentucky University where I earned a Masters of Science in Occupational Therapy and Interdisciplinary Autism Certificate.  I am currently a doctoral student at Boston University study executive functioning- especially problem solving, creativity, and cognitive flexibility.

My company, Sunny Day Therapy, designs specialized therapy programs and educational materials.  We have copyrighted social emotional learning programs and workbooks.  We love to present and educate people about pediatric occupational therapy and cognitive/executive functioning strategies for all ages.  My programs are strengths-based and neurodiversity-affirming!

Empowering each client to function independently/have choices, connecting to the community,  and treating all with dignity/love are my core beliefs.

Stories are my passion.  I want to be a writer because I believe perspective is the greatest gift.  I enjoy writing nonfiction and fiction. I want my readers to fathom what it would be like to experience life with autism, a brain injury, or as an outsider.  I want my readers to share in the joys of recovery and the struggles of searching for identity and meaningful community participation.
