Shawn, OTR

Early Intervention
Occupational Therapist

As an Early Intervention Occupational Therapist, Shawn works with children from birth to age three who need extra support with the everyday skills that help them play, learn, and take part in family life. That can include reaching and grasping, playing with toys, feeding themselves, handling new textures and sensations, or building early self-care skills like dressing. She visits families at home, at daycare, and in the community, and coaches parents and caregivers with practical strategies that fit into their daily routines, so progress continues between visits.

Outside of work, Shawn is a devoted collector of mismatched socks and is convinced her dryer is running an underground sock-trading operation. She also holds the unofficial Central Pennsylvania record for fastest time building a block tower, then letting a toddler knock it down.
