Guest: Hana Eichele, MOT, OTR/L, RYT
When I became a Registered and Licensed Pediatric Occupational Therapist, my passion for children, food, and healing became a reality. I started out in the school setting, which allowed me to see the value of providing services within the natural environment. As a special education team, we were able to collaborate on a consistent basis to determine and monitor effective interventions. I then transitioned into the clinical setting to increase my knowledge with medically complex individuals and to address feeding and eating challenges with an emphasis on the family unit. I’m a lifelong learner and have pursued additional training in a variety of programs. |
