Meet Our Team Monday ✨
Charlene, COTA 👩‍⚕️

I attended and graduated from the College of Charleston 🎓 with a bachelor’s degree in Physical Education 🏃‍♀️ with a concentration in Health Promotion. I also earned my Occupational Therapy Assistant degree from Trident Technical College 📚.

What I love most about working in pediatric occupational therapy is the occupation of play 🎲—of course! I enjoy observing how each child engages in play, because every child is so unique 🌟. They truly teach us new and creative ways to play 💡.

Growing up, I loved The Little Mermaid 🧜‍♀️ and The Lion King 🦁.

Meet Our Team Monday 💛

Maddy, SLP

What do you love most about being a pediatric SLP?
I love building strong connections with both children and their families. I also LOVE playing! Getting to see how every child plays differently and using that to connect, support, and help them grow in their communication skills and confidence is one of my favorite parts of the job. I enjoy the problem-solving side of therapy alongside both the child and their caregivers to help promote carryover across environments. I’m passionate about creating a space where kids feel safe, comfortable, and free to be themselves without pressure. I truly care so much about each of my kiddos 💛💭🌈

Favorite Disney movie:

I earned both my undergraduate and master’s degrees from the University of Minnesota Duluth ❄️🏒🌲

Meet Our Team Monday: Alessia, SLPA ✨

What I love most: 💙

Being an SLPA is incredibly rewarding because it allows me to help kids access communication in ways that highlight their strengths and work best for them. Building relationships with clients, getting to know each child’s interests, and using those to guide self-motivated, meaningful learning is one of my favorite parts of the job. Establishing connections with families is just as important, helping parents and caregivers feel confident supporting their children as they navigate the world around them.

Collaboration across disciplines is another part that makes this field so fun. I love learning from occupational and physical therapists and incorporating ideas from their disciplines to empower each child to connect and grow .

It’s such a fulfilling field, and I feel lucky to help kids build communication, confidence, and independence every day.

Favorite Disney Movie:
The Princess and the Frog 🐸👑

I earned my Bachelor’s in Communication Disorders from SUNY New Paltz 🦅🎓
