It is our mission to enhance the community with quality occupational therapy services. Children and families will engage in interactive services that will encourage their progress. We strive to empower our families with the tools to help their child succeed.
Our Story
Megan has always had a passion for working with children, so it was no surprise when she became a pediatric occupational therapist. She takes pride in listening to families' concerns and giving practical suggestions to help improve their child's daily routines. Megan sees the child as a whole and investigates the WHY of what's creating the deficits.
Megan holds a Masters of Occupational Therapy from the University of Indianapolis and has been serving the pediatric population for 8+ years in outpatient, early intervention and ABA settings. She looks forward to bringing her unique perspective of occupational therapy to her community and being the go-to provider for your child's therapy needs.

Parent Testimonials
“My daughter has been working with Megan since she was 2. She is now 4 years old. She was diagnosed with autism and global developmental delay at 3 years old she was also non verbal, I have seen so much difference. Megan taught us about sensory imput and everyday activities that could help our daughter adjust when needed. The occupational therapy that she does is amazing and she sets a pace and goes with the intent of the child. She also is constantly teaching us parents techniques that help her in everyday activities. Currently she is repeating words and interacting like never before and Megan was one of the key factors in her development. Megan is heartwarming and doesn't treat you like the number of the day like other ABA places do. She treats your child like her own and trys her hardest to help in any way she can.” - Heather E.
“Megan has been doing an amazing job helping my two sons achieve their goals. She has helped gain independence in all areas of their lives they need to succeed. She started off helping my oldest son last year get the skills he was lacking to excel with his peers, and now she is currently helping my youngest son to build the skills he needs as well. She is helping him overcome barriers that were preventing him from his milestones as he is growing. Now my sons have achieved so much with her help that they can be the best person they can be in their lives.” - Angela E.
“Megan is a joy to work with. She gives her personal best and her heart to her clients. She always takes time to listen to my concerns and is ready with new ideas for me to try with Elias. She is a wealth of information and is up on the latest research. She excels at communicating the connection between the whys behind Elias’ behaviors and the proposed techniques to try and help him. She has empowered me with the tools I need to help Elias, and she has helped him understand himself better and how to self-regulate. Elias always enjoys working with Megan and is excited to see her. Working with her has transformed our son and our family.”
