Hello! My name is Kaitlyn and I am a graduate student in my last year of school for physical therapy at UMass Lowell. I have always been very passionate about working with the special needs population. I have a mild form of Cerebral Palsy so I have an idea of what other people with this condition have gone through during their lives. My goal for my career is to become a Pediatric Physical Therapist and I have experience working with children in several different settings. My past experience with the special needs population has been working in two different school systems during their summer programs. I worked at the Cotting School as Physical Therapy Aide and as a 1:1 aide for a 21-year-old boy with Cerebral Palsy at Massachusetts Hospital School while I was in undergrad. I was also able to work at Boston Children's Hospital for my last clinical experience for physical therapy school. All of these have been great experiences and I am excited to continue this work in my future.
