Hi, Iām Ms. Jackie!
I am an occupational therapist passionate about students with significant support needs. I have been practicing occupational therapy for over 17 years in various settings, including schools, residential centers, hospitals, outpatient and home health. I have primarily worked with children throughout my career and am passionate about increasing their independence, participation, and performance in life skills activities. Another passion of mine is helping other occupational therapists make an impact! Thank you for taking the time to look at my website. I hope you will find many resources you can use in your practice.
My daughter, Kensi, has been a huge help with making this resource come to life! You will see her in many of the video models.
Are you an OT or parent who needs support?
I can help:
Promote student independence
Research shows that students who have the opportunity to engage in and learn life skills are more successful when they transition out of the school setting.
Build your confidence
It can be challenging to plan activities for students with significant support needs and how to scaffold these activities.
Expand your potential
All of the resources on this page are designed to support your growth and help you have more time to work with students and less time for planning activities.
