"SKILL BUILDING." Unlike most therapies, activity-based therapies take a holistic approach. It works not only within the physical domain but the mental/cognitive, social and behavioral/emotional as well.
"INDEPENDENCE." The ultimate goal of a recreational therapist is to help clients become as functionally independent as possible.
"TREATMENT." Activity therapy is performed by nationally certified therapists who use; activities, music, art, programs, community outings, and etc. within treatment sessions to facilitate engagement and improvement in an individual’s overall wellbeing.
From a young age, I was immersed in the Developmental Disabled community, which directly affected my life goal to help others. While at Western Michigan for my Bachelor's in Interdispanary health services, I fell in love with program planning and one on one personalized treatment. Which ultimately lead me to my second bachelors at Eastern Michigan and Masters degree at Indiana University in Therapeutic Recreation.
After Eastern Michigan, I started working with Children and adolescents with physical, cognitive, development, social and behavioral disabilities/concerns. I worked within this field for more than a year. At that point I realized how many individuals were not receiving qualified specialized care, which is why this company and its programs were created.
I also went back to school in order to try to change the world of ABA. By taking my years of activity based therapy and using ABA concepts we hope to create a more naturalistic, individualized, and dare I say fun way of performing ABA.
I love art and using technology. If I can do both, even better! I have two silly cats and a smart little dog. I have to little girls as well that keep me busy when I'm not working! 💕
