      Chicago Occupational Therapy is an outpatient pediatric clinic that services clients in the Chicagoland area. Chicago Occupational Therapy offers a variety of services including Occupational Therapy, Speech Language Pathology, Applied Behavior Analysis, and Physical Therapy to provide a multidisciplinary approach to treatment. During my time as a fieldwork student at this site, I managed a full caseload, provided parent education, conducted re-evaluations, participated in interdisciplinary collaboration, and analyzed evaluation outcomes. Additionally, I collaborated with the graphic design team to create a gross motor resource that could be utilized by fellow team members for treatment purposes. I have contributed to the clinic’s blog and participated in research that provided information in creation of a handwriting readiness program.
