Meet our new OT Christy. Last spots remaining for summer Occupational Therapy sessions. Sign up today !

Christy Zaide, OTR/L

With 17 years of experience as an occupational therapist, I’ve dedicated my career to supporting children’s development through a blend of evidence-based practices and creative, holistic approaches. My pediatric experience spans eight years, working across both school settings and outpatient clinics.

I’m certified in Vital Links Astronaut Training, focusing on the integration of the vestibular, ocular motor, and auditory systems, and I deeply value the use of sensory integration and play-based strategies to support function and engagement. I recently completed the American Hippotherapy Association’s Principles course and am working toward full certification, adding equine movement to my growing toolkit of therapeutic interventions.

My passion lies in empowering children through purposeful play, helping them reach their fullest potential in a fun, compassionate, and meaningful way.

To sign up please call our office (224) 219-1924.
