INTRODUCTION:
My name is Debbie and I am the Director and Owner of Wonders Pediatric Therapy. I have years of experience working with school districts, private pediatric clinics, skilled nursing facilities, and inpatient hospitals. I work with children of all ages from 6 months to adolescence.
I love occupational therapy because it promotes autonomy in your life through various activities, tools/equipment, and modifications. My philosophy for therapy is that you are wonderful just as you are. You are wonderfully made. Therefore, my goal for therapy is not to fix anyone, but to provide the right tools and strategies to help improve their participation in meaningful activities. Just like a person with poor vision can use glasses to read better and take the bus independently, a child with motor or sensory challenges can be independent in their favorite occupations using the right tools. My favorite tool that helps me in my daily life? Robot vacuum!
I prioritize building a relationship with the child and the family, having lots of eye-contact and laughters together, and tailoring goals and interventions to their values and needs. Using a holistic approach, I hope to tackle the barriers in their daily routines. More about how I started my OT journey can be found on our instagram @wonderspediatrictherapy!
During free time, I enjoy baking, exploring nature, and spending quality time with my family. I love to travel overseas. A few years ago, I volunteered at an orphanage for children with disabilities in the rural part of Vietnam for 5 weeks. During my time there, I provided therapy to children and education to staff about environmental modifications and adaptive equipment. Though it was boiling hot and humid, all the sweats were totally worth it.
