My Project

Hello! I'm an occupational therapist who has the pleasure of providing skilled services to students PreK - 5th grade with moderate-severe intellectual, physical, and sensory impairments. I try my best to engage them with games and toys that are developmentally appropriate and match their individual skill levels.I work to promote independence in order to help each of them participate in their day-to-day activities in school and at home.

My students require extra assistance to build their skills and need your help to help them reach their full potential!

Thank you for your consideration!

Ms. Ogrodnik
Grades PreK-2
