I have worked in this location both full-time and PRN capacity. I am currently PRN due to having worked full-time in school-based therapy during this time. During my time at PCSC, I have served patients in independent and assisted living, long-term care, and short-term rehab.

I provided occupational therapy services to students in pre-k-12 for four years. I collaborated with other services to develop a working schedule which allowed me to treat 30-35 students per week in four different schools. I formed appropriate relationships with students and staff to understand the needs of each child on my caseload, and then planned individual interventions to meet those needs. I relayed progress or regression information to the OTR each month, documented all daily sessions, and completed quarterly reports.
