Occupational Therapy For Children
 
Testimonials

"Shana Gjelsvik worked extensively with my son throughout the past
year.  Her success with him was a product of her great expertise and vast
knowledge as well as the wonderful connection she had with him.  Shana
was truly instrumental in my son's progress developmentally during the
past 13 months."

"At 16 months of age my son Joe was diagnosed with autism.  His fine and
gross motor skills were behind by one year.  Joe also has several sensory
issues that made simple things like washing his face very challenging.  He
received occupational therapy from Stephanie Pavese for well over a year
and I'm proud to say that both his fine and gross motor skills are now at
the appropriate age level and his sensory issues have diminished greatly.  It
has made day to day life for him and the rest of his family a lot easier."

"Two of the most important ingredients to successfully helping children are
(1) looking at the whole child and (2) truly showing that you care about
that child. Liza Kali, OTR is one such expert in the evaluation and
treatment of all aspects of developmental and neurological disabilities with
whom I have had the great privelege to have worked for many years.  She
is extremely knowledgeable yet is caring and sensitive to the needs of the
child - as well as the parents and guardians."

"Shana's enthusiasm made theraphy fun for Nicholas instead of work.  
Shana's abilities as a therapist made our dreams come true.  We watched
our child go from not being able to walk or climb to running.  Shana's love
of her job, and the children she treats, makes the children WANT to
succeed for her."

"When we received the autism diagnosis we hardly knew where to start,
but Stephanie showed us how William's sensory issues were affecting his
behavior and limiting what he was able to learn and absorb.  It was such a
comfort to know our son was in such highly competent hands.  We're
thrilled with his progress."
