FOUNDATIONS TO FLOURISH THERAPY
Concierge Occupational Therapy Services
Hello!
I'm Jessica MSOT ! I am a bilingual pediatric occupational therapist for over 7 years, owner and creator of Foundations to Flourish Therapy and Adaptive Little Chefs. I received by Bachelor of Science and Masters of Occupational Therapy from Quinnipiac University. I am currently completing my Post Professional Occupational Therapy Doctorate from Boston University. I am currently AOTA licensed in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Michigan.
My Story
My occupational therapy journey began when I learned at a young age that one of my childhood friends was diagnosed with Autism. As we grew up together, I became aware and learned about the services and teachers that helped her in school and after school. I later knew that my passion for working with children would differ from a teacher and so I found occupational therapy. It was and is a field that allows child led play, exploration and learning with the consistency of supporting their developmental needs.
​
Throughout my career I have worked with toddlers, preschool, school age and high school students. My experience includes children 6 month- 21 years of age in early intervention and preschool settings in NYC, Boston Public Schools, and McLean Hospital Pathways Academy in Boston. Within these settings I have provided service to children whom were diagnosed or presented with autism, ADHD, developmental delays, fine and gross motor weakness, executive functioning, handwriting, sensory and neurological difficulties. I am able to execute, initial consultations, evaluations, interventions, home programs as needed. I have regularly collaborated with teachers, physical therapists, speech therapists, board certified behavior analysts, social workers, and psychologists, With each new setting I was able to learn new skills to refine my provision of service.
​
I am a dedicated, fun, creative, empathic, and collaborative practitioner that has always worked well with families and related professionals. I pride myself in providing client- centered and up to date evidence based practice. I enjoy planning engaging therapeutic sessions for my patients, working in the least restrictive and natural environments and incorporating families in the practice to ensure carry over of skills. I am passionate about empowering, advocating and building strong connections with children and their families. At FTF Therapy I hope to provide virtual and in-person meaningful, fun, occupation based, activities that ultimately support your child to grow and flourish!
