Meet Our Directors!

Dr. Laura Mraz, OTD, OTR/L
Executive Director, Occupational Therapist

“I really enjoy seeing the growth within our children and families each year, but it is also incredible to see the growth and transformation within our therapists as they thrive in our supportive, nurturing and collaborative environment.”

Sarah H, MOT, OTR/L
Regional Clinic Director, Occupational Therapist

“I became intrigued with the field of occupational therapy while providing childcare for a boy who had cerebral palsy. I had the opportunity to join his therapy sessions and was blown away by the impact in helping build his independence and engagement in everyday life.”

Noah Greer, Social Worker and Clinic Director of Eyas Landing and Merlin Day Academy's Avondale location.

Noah G, MSW, LICSW

Jennifer G, LBS-1, M.Ed., MBA
Assistant Clinic Director

“Early in my career, I had the privilege of working with students with developmental disabilities, and it was in those first classrooms that I felt my true calling—to create compassionate, inclusive, and empowering learning environments for students who require specialized support.“

Amanda L, MA, CCC-SLP
Director of Program Development, Speech-Language Pathologist

“I received speech therapy as a child due to my difficulty with articulation, specifically producing /s/. While I can remember how my difficulty communicating affected me, I remember even more so the impact my speech-language pathologist had on me.“
