Your Instructor
Hello and welcome! My name is Dana and I'm a Pediatric Occupational Therapist based out of San Diego, California. A little bit about myself - I graduated from The University of Southern California in 2017 with my Master's in OT, and ever since I have been a practicing clinician in a variety of settings, including clinics, schools, and in homes as an early interventionist for babies 0-3 years old. While I love working with youngsters, I love collaborating with parents even more! This is because it is my mission to empower parents by sharing everything I know as an OT - not only the knowledge I gleaned from graduate school, but all the current research and practical, hands-on knowledge I acquired through my everyday experiences working with kids. By watching my videos, you will get the easiest, most evidence-based, and tried-and-tested methods for promoting your child's development. Welcome to my page, I am so happy you are here!
