About Us
Meet Sam!
Miss Sam is a pediatric occupational therapist and certified SOS feeding therapist. She received both her Bachelor's and Master's Degrees from Quinnipiac University. Miss Sam always knew she wanted to go into pediatrics, but fell in love with feeding therapy during her pediatric clinical rotation at the NAPA Center's Los Angeles location.
Miss Sam has experience working in early intervention and in the pediatric outpatient setting. Within these settings she has worked with general picky eaters and children with sensory aversions, children on and transitioning off feeding tubes, those with delayed oral motor skills, children with food allergies, as well as those with additional GI diagnoses and medical complexities. She formalized her feeding training in 2020 with the SOS Approach to Feeding Certification course and has since completed several additional SOS courses to continue her education.
Miss Sam also has extensive experience working with children birth to 16 with general developmental delays and needs impacting functional independence. Miss Sam has experience working with children with fine motor and visual motor concerns, motor planning and coordination concerns, sensory processing and self regulation needs, as well as self care concerns.
