Membership Spotlight: Stephanie Cooley, OT, ATP
This week, we’re proud to spotlight Stephanie Cooley, OT, ATP, an occupational therapist at Dodd Rehabilitation Hospital and a dedicated leader in seating and mobility, clinical care, and program development.
Stephanie earned her master’s degree in occupational therapy from The Ohio State University and her RESNA Assistive Technology Professional (ATP) designation, which she puts into practice by helping patients access seating and mobility solutions that support independence and participation.
As a Programmatic Team Lead, Stephanie balances clinical care with program development, using quality improvement strategies to drive meaningful change. Her recent work has helped Dodd Rehabilitation Hospital achieve exceptional regional and national outcomes—including initiatives to reinvigorate the inpatient therapy milieu, develop an activity-based therapy team, strengthen community participation, and integrate length-of-stay benchmarks into case-based reviews to support effective discharge planning.
Stephanie’s impact reflects the many ways occupational therapists can lead as clinicians, specialists, innovators, and advocates for better care.
👏 Thank you, Stephanie, for your leadership and dedication to occupational therapy! We’re proud to spotlight you as part of the Ohio OT community.
