ABOUT ME
Kelsey Carroll, OTR/L &
Pediatric Development Consultant
I am a registered and licensed Occupational Therapist, with a special interest in pediatric development. I currently work in an elementary school (K-5) as well as in Early Intervention (0-3). My increased interest in development happened naturally as I saw my two babies grow and would constantly check in to make sure they were on track for their age.
My goal is to use my unique experience as an Occupational Therapist & Mom along with my continuing education on pediatric development to help others live a happier, more fulfilling life together. I hope to help other parents feel confident in their abilities and knowledge so that they know they are giving their children all the opportunities they deserve.
Client-Centered, Holistic & Practical
MY APPROACH
My personalized approach is to understand that every family's situation and dynamics are different and to give you the tools & strategies you need to help your family in the ways that are important to you!
WHAT IS MY PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION
& WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
WHAT IS AN OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST (OT) & HOW DO THEY HELP KIDS?
So, you might be wondering, "What on earth is an Occupational Therapist, and how can they sprinkle some magic on my kiddo's development?" Well, I'm here to break it down for you!
Think of an Occupational Therapist (OT) as your child's personal superhero for daily life skills. We're not the folks helping with jobs, despite the name – we're the champions of making sure your little ones rock at everything from sensory exploration to munching down their Cheerios.
Picture this: Your tot struggling with fine motor skills? Enter the OT with a bag full of tricks to make those little fingers nimble and ready for action. Sensory issues causing some chaos? Fear not, we're here to create a sensory wonderland that'll have your kiddo thriving. And don't even get me started on picky eating – we've got that covered too!
From tackling tricky schedules to turning behavior hiccups into victories, an OT is your go-to ally. We're like the wizards of child development, making sure your munchkins have a blast while becoming the rock stars of coordination, planning, and all-around awesomeness. So, ready for a journey of growth and giggles? Let's make it happen together! 🌟
Hey there! I'm a certified Occupational Therapist and, oh yeah, a mom too! I've got a Masters degree in Occupational Therapy, where I delved into all the cool stuff like child development, psychology, and family dynamics. You know, the nitty-gritty of completing evaluations and whipping up treatment plans that actually work.
I'm not just throwing words around—I'm the real deal. Registered and licensed in the great state of Michigan, with my Occupational Therapy Masters from Western Michigan University and a Psychology undergrad from the Spartans at Michigan State University. I've got this awesome specialization in Health Promotion, too!
My brain is basically a treasure trove of childhood development knowledge, thanks to the array of courses I've aced. And the learning never stops – I'm always diving into the latest research, attending trainings, and grabbing hold of any resource I can find. Why? So I can keep your family in the loop with the absolute best opportunities! Trust me, when it comes to your family's well-being, you want someone who knows their stuff – and that someone is me!
