Welcome to the team Taylor - we are so excited to have you! ✨

Taylor is a National Board Certified Occupational Therapist. She received her professional Doctorate Degree in Occupational Therapy from Washington University in St. Louis in 2023. She also received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Therapeutic Recreation & Management from Oklahoma State University in 2020.

Following the completion of her degree, Taylor has
supported pediatric clients and their families in the areas of sensory processing, emotional regulation, and functional participation in meaningful occupations.

Taylor is committed to providing skilled, evidence-based, client-centered care while fostering an
environment where children and their families flourish. Through the use of holistic approaches, Taylor is able to adapt treatment sessions to be engaging, empowering, and effective.

In addition to OT, Taylor is passionate about health and wellness. You will often find her at the gym, exploring local coffee shops, and spending time with her family. She also enjoys board games, puzzles, and taste testing gluten free goodies. She is looking forward to the opportunity to meet and collaborate with our Connected Kids families!

🧠Primitive reflexes are the automatic movement patterns babies are born with. They help guide early survival, sensory processing, movement, and motor development — and they’re meant to fade as the brain matures.

But when these reflexes don’t fully integrate, they can impact attention, emotional regulation, coordination, learning, and sensory processing. That’s why reflex integration is such an important part of building a strong neurological foundation.

Integrating retained reflexes strengthens communication between the brainstem, cerebellum, and higher cortical areas, helping the brain work more efficiently. When the lower networks are functioning well, kids gain better access to higher-level skills like focus, problem solving, emotional control, and academic learning.

Many families see challenges like difficulty sitting still, poor balance or coordination, emotional reactivity, handwriting struggles, trouble crossing midline, sensory sensitivities, or learning difficulties — all of which can be connected to retained reflexes.

For some children, reflex work is the “missing piece.” Progress becomes easier and more meaningful once the brain is no longer stuck in those early patterns.

At Connected Kids, we support reflex integration through targeted movement patterns, sensory input, low-level laser therapy, and brain-based activities that strengthen the nervous system from the ground up. As reflexes integrate, children often regulate more easily, move with more coordination, learn more efficiently, and feel more confident in their bodies.

Reflex integration may be a key step in helping your child make the progress you’ve been hoping for.

Curious what happens inside a NeuroConnect Intensive?

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at our 1-week, 10-hour immersive program designed to support deeper, longer lasting neurodevelopment.

We combine photobiomodulation (LLLT) with powerful tools like Rezzimax, EyeLights, the Bobo board, sensory integration, and reflex integration, all paired with meaningful functional activities.

Neuroconnect Intensives are thoughtfully structured to address your specific child’s needs including:
• emotional regulation
• body awareness
• gross motor + postural control
• visual processing + oculomotor skills
•Executive function skills
• Fine motor skills
• Attention, focus, behavior
• and so much more!

This is where red + near infrared light meets neuroplasticity to build stronger, longer-lasting connections.

✨CURRENT CLIENTS - scheduling is NOW open for intensives!
✨NEW CLIENTS - scheduling will open January 1st!

✨ Now Introducing NeuroConnect Intensives + Low-Level Laser Therapy at Connected Kids Pediatric Therapy!

We’re beyond excited to share a new, research-backed approach designed to help children make faster, deeper, and longer-lasting progress.

Why we’re adding this:
Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) helps the brain work more efficiently by boosting oxygen and blood flow, calming inflammation, and supporting strong, lasting neural connections. When paired with focused daily therapy, kids build momentum quickly—leading to real, meaningful change.

Who it’s for:
Families who’ve tried traditional therapy and are looking for something more targeted, holistic, and root-cause focused. NeuroConnect Intensives help strengthen the brain’s foundation for improved regulation, attention, learning, and overall development.

This program is exclusive to current Connected Kids clients through the end of the year and opens to new families in January.
✨ Spots are limited and expected to fill quickly.

Follow along on Instagram for behind-the-scenes looks at our intensives & to stay up to date with next steps once our intensives open to new families in the new year!
