occupational therapy: empowering families of children with feeding, sensory processing and special needs in their most natural environments
About Tera
I am a fascinated observer, student and audience member of all things from children and their development. They cause me to laugh out loud in delight, be amazed, inspired and intrigued by their genuine uniqueness. My best friend/co-adventurer/husband and I are blessed enough to have three of these delightful, amazing, inspiring children of our own. You can almost always spot us playing as hard as we work with all the children in our lives.
When I want to pretend that I’m a “real grown-up”, I describe myself as a mom, wife and occupational therapist. I have worked as an OT for Primary Children’s Hospital, McKay-Dee Hospital and a local charter school in northern Utah since I graduated from OT school at Colorado State University in 2001. I have treated children and adults of all ages with a wide variety of OT concerns, with specialized training in feeding and sensory integration.
But… I rarely feel like a “real grown-up”, so deep down, I would always rather choose playing and exploring with my favorite peeps… or taking a nap to escape my “grown-up” responsibilities.
I am an occupational therapist licensed in the state of Utah, certified with the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy with a Practice Area of Emphasis in Pediatrics and a member of the American Occupational Therapy Association.
I would love to hear from you and have the opportunity to work with you and your children!
