Susan

I am the founder, owner, and primary therapist at SMART Pediatric Therapy. In August of 2016, I completed my Post-Professional Doctor of Occupational Therapy with an elective track in Pediatrics from Rocky Mountain University. Prior to that, I graduated from San Jose State University in 1996 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Occupational Therapy. My academic achievements include induction into Phi Kappa Phi, being awarded Dean’s Scholar, graduating with departmental honors, and graduating summa cum laude. My work is with a pediatric client base and I have experience working in the school setting, in the clinic setting, in early intervention (0 to 3 years), and in home health. I specialize in the treatment of Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), which is prevalent in the pediatric population needing occupational therapy. I have devoted many hours of post-graduate work attending conferences, completing continuing education course work, and studying to be knowledgeable in applying a sensory integrative approach to occupational therapy. I also attended an advanced mentorship/training program at the STAR Institute for Sensory Processing Disorder (Sensory Treatment And Research) in Colorado, a non-profit treatment and research facility.
