My name Is Meredith, and I am currently a graduate student at FGCU in Occupational Therapy. Prior to graduate school I attended the University of Illinois. During my college years I worked as a substitute teacher's aid in various elementary schools and have had much experience with children in the classroom as well as children with disabilities. I have had extensive interaction with children with learning disabilities and autism spectrum disorder. I have also worked in a church ministry program for adults with varying disabilities. I have two younger brothers and have had years of babysitting experience. I am CPR certified through my graduate program for infants and adults (I can supply verification). I aim to specialize in pediatric OT and love children.
