Adding “builds sensory room structures” to my resume skillset 😜 This long awaited structure is finally here and fully functional! Thanks to for ensuring this bad boy was tightened and stable for use! Our kiddos (and therapists) are loving all the jumping, swinging, climbing, monkey bar and zip lining that this is allowing us to do in our sessions! Shout out to and for lending me a hand and ladder! ☺️

My ride or die Valentines! When the delivery guy drops off a 12 foot package on the sidewalk and you have 45 mins to get it inside the building (because ) Miss Kerry and Miss Bridget and their husbands dropped everything to make it happen! I truly love these ladies! The swingset is FINALLY here!!
And, if you’re wondering why there are scooter boards in the background, Miss Kerry in true OT fashion was thinking outside the box to deliver our box aboard scooter boards 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Today, our paint colors were NOT red, blue, yellow and green. Instead, they were Elmo, Cookie Monster, Big Bird, and Oscar the Grouch (he loves trash). Because when they were red, blue, yellow and green, my little buddy was NOT interested. But when they were Elmo, Cookie Monster, Big Bird, and Oscar the Grouch (he loves trash), my buddy jumped right in with a smile on his face! Always remember your child’s special interests, especially when introducing new activities and learning. Special Interests create windows of opportunity for meaningful participation and moments of joy just like these (check out that smile in the last pic). ❤️

Also, if you love a gestalt language processor, you will understand why (he loves trash) needs to follow Oscar the grouch 😜

Our Team grew! Meet Miss Kerry! Miss Kerry joined our team in May 2022 and has been bringing creative interventions and thoughtful approaches to our families ever since! She always makes sure our kiddos are having a blast in therapy whether being silly in play to make them laugh or crawling on the floor to join them in the fun!

Kerry brings a wealth of knowledge to mOTivated kids with training in sensory integration, reflex integration, SOS feeding approach, NDT, and casting and splinting of the upper extremity. She is certified in Physical Agent Modalities (PAMS) in the state of NJ.

Kerry received her undergraduate degree from Penn State University and her Master's in Occupational Therapy from Sacred Heart University.

When she is not working, you might see Kerry around town to all of the fun events with her husband, daughter, and dog, Mac or dining at any of the delicious restaurants on Haddon Ave.!
