They will also provide therapy, conduct wellness assessments, and offer education to parents and teachers. As the only pediatric OT on the team this year, Megan’s expertise will bring a vital perspective to therapy sessions and assessments. She is eager to make a tangible impact by applying her skills to serve the children at MTC. Beyond this, Megan is excited to grow both professionally and personally through this experience and she looks forward to sharing her journey with our DTA team upon her return.d for updates on her journey this spring!
