Hello, thanks for visiting! I have 8 years of experience working with diverse individuals with special needs (ages 18mos to elderly). As a graduate student of occupational therapy, I specialize in helping individuals with challenges to engage in meaningful activities in order to optimize their function, health, and happiness. I have experience working with individuals with physical (mobility limitations, injuries, amputations, congenital disorders, type II diabetes, Parkinson's), developmental (ADHD, autism), and mental health challenges (agoraphobia, OCD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, attachment disorders, trauma, dementia, Alzheimer's, depression, anxiety). I am a fast learner and tend to pick up on the needs of others well. Full-time school keeps me busy but I do have availability, especially with advanced notice. Tues Am, Thurs, Fri PM, Sat, and Sun are best for me. Feel free to send me a message anytime and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Thank you! Nikita
