Pediatric Occupational Therapist (OT) Lead
Referred by Jens List member clickontoys@earthlink.net
“My son was struggling with decreased strength in his hands that affected his daily activities like opening snack packages, coloring, and taking off his shoes. I was referred to Donna Pouladian, OT  & her positive disposition made  me and my child feel comfortable. After her assessment of my son’s skills and strengths, she developed a strategic plan to help reach our goals for my son within her regular weekly visits to our house. After six weeks, I started to see improvement within my son’s fine motor skills and self confidence. It has now been 4 months since our initial session and! I am very pleased with Donna and her hard work, patience and dedication. She is flexible with her  hours (a big plus for a busy mom like me). Call her at 310-476-5103 or Donnaot@gmail.com“
