I am an Occupational Therapist specialized in pediatrics care, supporting children and teenagers with developmental delays, mental health conditions and learning difficulties.
I create treatment programs that aim to improve the children’s general development and occupational performance. I work with the parents, giving the education that they need to foster their kids growth and independency in daily life activities.
I also cooperate with the children’s educators, to implement strategies aimed to support school performance, facilitating social integration.
I believe in teamwork, therefore I am willing to communicate and cooperate with any other specialist supporting the children.
