What a panel! We recorded some bonus content for the Think Sensory Summit! Bryden Carlson-Giving, Kelly Mahler, Tracey DeMaria, Occupational Therapist and myself talked about OTs role in Mental Health in the Schools!

Such an honor to contribute to the amazing project Kelly Mahler put together to support the importance of moving away from focusing on compliance with children. It’s all about relationships.

AOTA conference blew my mind this year. My heart and brain are so full! Lots of belonging and incredible time spent with deep-hearted big thinkers devoted to creating meaningful positive change.

How incredibly humbling and amazing it was to be on the stage with these OT power houses advocating tirelessly to create meaningful change. It may start out as a few ripples but looking forward to the big wave 🌊!

That’s the face every one should have that this amazing book exists!! To the amazing Bryden Carlson-Giving and all the contributing authors. As a neurodivergent human and OT I personally thank you for putting this into the world and into our profession. I think I have found required reading for my class finally. I can’t wait to sink into this and wear it out!! And I listen to my books so that says alot!
