“There are so many things to love about WOOT from the beginning, but I find myself continually discovering new reasons to appreciate being part of this team.” 💜

For Sammi Parisi, one of the things that has made the biggest difference in her experience at World of OT is knowing she has a team behind her.

"Ushma and our teammates are always willing to step in, collaborate, and support one another, which has made such a difference in my growth as a clinician."

Because clinical mastery shouldn't mean isolation.

Our therapists have the autonomy to build meaningful relationships with the children and families they serve, while still having mentorship, collaboration, and a supportive team to turn to when they need it.

Sammi also shared that World of OT was her first job as an OT and that she's grateful to have started her career in an environment that prioritizes collaboration, learning, flexibility, and meaningful relationships.

That's the kind of place we want World of OT to be: a place where you can do meaningful work and continue becoming the clinician you want to be.💛

And right now, we're growing our team!

Holistic Means Whole Child

Holistic pediatric occupational therapy means looking at the whole child, not just one skill or behavior - because that is only one piece of a much bigger picture 💛

When we consider foundational skills alongside regulation, environment, routines, relationships, expectations, and current supports, we can better understand the whole child and support them to build functional independence to truly thrive in everyday life.

Children don’t exist in pieces.
Therapy shouldn’t either.

💙 Meet the newest member of the World of OT team... Kirsten Mascarenas !

Kirsten joins us as our Practice Manager, and if there’s one thing she loves, it’s making all those little (and not-so-little!) behind-the-scenes details feel a whole lot easier.

From scheduling and onboarding to keeping communication flowing and creating systems that help our days run smoothly, Kirsten’s goal is simple: families should always feel like there’s a real person on the other side who is genuinely happy to help. 💛

Kirsten brings several years of experience in therapy practice management, healthcare administration, client care, and developing the systems and workflows that help practices stay organized, efficient, and consistent.

But there’s plenty to know about Kirsten beyond the office, too! She’s a mom of two boys and a homeschool parent, an avid learner, plant lover, writer, from-scratch cook, and very enthusiastic supporter of a good cup of coffee. ☕🌿
We’re so excited to have Kirsten supporting our families, therapists, and the entire World of OT community!

Help us give her a big World of OT welcome! 👋💙

"This model is why I wanted to become an OT in the first place."

When we asked our team what they love most about working at World of OT, Emily Naughton shared something that perfectly captures our approach:

"It fits how OT is actually supposed to work by considering everything going on in a child and family's life. Being able to get real carryover at home makes such a huge difference. It's super dynamic getting to work across schools, homes, and parks, and I love that we get to collaborate with everyone in their world."

But Emily wasn't the only one.

Abigail Miller shared how having autonomy over her caseload and genuine work-life balance allows her to be more prepared and present for the children she serves.

After six years in the field, Amanda Rage told us she has "never felt more supported, appreciated, and accepted authentically at a job" and described World of OT in three words:

Authentic. Supportive. Warm.

And Sammi Parisi shared that she's "never felt alone when navigating a therapeutic challenge," crediting the collaboration and support of her teammates with helping her grow as a clinician.

This is what we mean when we say that at World of OT, exceptional pediatric care starts with therapists who feel supported, valued, and empowered.

✨ Competitive compensation ($75–$90/hour)

✨ Flexible scheduling and caseload autonomy

✨ Paid cancellations, travel, documentation, and meetings

✨ Mentorship and leadership opportunities

✨ Professional development support

✨ Health benefits, 401(k), and more

If you're looking for a place where you can practice pediatric occupational therapy the way it was meant to be practiced, while being part of a team that genuinely invests in you, we'd love to meet you.

Skills Hide Inside Play ⭐

To a child, it’s play.

To us, it’s motor planning, hand strength, coordination, and problem solving.

Play-based pediatric occupational therapy allows children to build essential skills in ways that feel natural and engaging.

Skills grow best when they’re embedded in joy.

🎳 Bowling, dinner, and a whole lot of laughs

Bowling with our team and their families was such a fun way to spend time together outside of the day-to-day. It’s not often we get to slow down like this, and it meant a lot to just connect, laugh, and enjoy the night together.

There were a few strikes, plenty of gutter balls 😉, dinner after, and lots of laughs in between.

We’re really grateful for this team and the community we’ve built together 🤍

Regulation Before Expectation

We don’t start with expectations. ➡ We start with regulation.

When a child feels supported and regulated, attention improves, coordination strengthens, and participation increases.

Pediatric occupational therapy begins with the nervous system - because skills follow safety.

What Therapy Really Looks Like...

Pediatric occupational therapy doesn’t look like drills or worksheets.

It looks like play, movement, connection, and purposeful engagement.

Behind every activity is thoughtful clinical reasoning, but to a child, it simply feels meaningful and safe.

That’s how real growth happens. ♥

Before we show up for the children and families we support each day, we make space to connect with each other too - a little glimpse into our team 🤍

This night we spent time together at a pottery studio - learning how to throw on the wheel, getting a little messy, and trying something completely new.

Followed by dinner and lots of laughter.
Moments like this matter.
Because strong teams create safe, supportive spaces for kids to grow - and that’s always the goal.

Grateful for this team 🤍

She believes that true support is a partnership, working closely with families to ensure every child feels understood and empowered in their daily lives.
