Samantha Mitchell, an Occupational Therapist who joined BY YOUR SIDE in March of 2015, says she would not want to do anything else for a living! The moment Sam shadowed another OT at a previous employer, she knew immediately that she wanted to do this. Sam said, “I finally found a job that encompassed everything that I was meant to do and enjoy. It is better than I ever thought! OT has endless possibilities.” Sam has already made a dynamic impact with BYS children and families. The energy and passion she has for her job shines brightly each day.

Oakstone is the only school in Ohio (and we believe the nation) that was founded on the principle of providing a truly inclusive environment for children with autism spectrum disorders, allowing them to be full participants in the classroom with peers who do not have disabilities.Unlike traditional approaches to inclusion where a few children with disabilities are sprinkled into mainstream classrooms, 40 percent of students at the Oakstone Academy in Columbus have autism. Others enrolled at the private day school include many of the students’ siblings and other typically developing kids.http://www.disabilityscoop.com/2010/04/20/columbus-autism-school/7729/http://www.ccde.org/#!about-oakstone-academy/c1oas
