☀️Meet the Team!☀️
Alexandra Schriefer, MS, OTR/L, is a pediatric occupational therapist with experience across various settings, including a specialized autism school, outpatient pediatric clinic, and acute care hospital. With a deep commitment to supporting children with diverse diagnoses, Alex has honed her expertise in working with the autistic population, focusing her continuing education on emotional regulation and feeding difficulties.
In addition to her clinical work, Alex holds a certification in Interactive Metronome and is an animal-assisted occupational therapy provider, thanks to her therapy dog, Louie, whom she trained from a young puppy to assist in therapy sessions.
In 2022, Alex founded and built Northeast Ohio’s first sensory-friendly inclusive kids’ gym, “We Rock the Spectrum-Cleveland,” with the goal of creating a supportive “hub” for neurodiverse children and their families in the region. Building on this success, she expanded her vision to include occupational therapy services by establishing “A Rhea of Sunshine Pediatric Therapy”, further enhancing her ability to serve and support her community.
A fun fact about Alex is that her high school mascot was a grape 🍇
