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.”

Noah G, MSW, LICSW
Clinic Director

“Throughout my last 12 years in the social services field, I have continued to be inspired by the talent, passions, and determination demonstrated by both my peers and the children, adults, and families I worked with.”

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.

Molly R, MS, DT
Assistant Director of Program Development, Developmental Therapist

“Nothing matters more than a child’s early years and I am passionate about continuing to learn how children develop, thrive, and learn in the context of their family, culture, and community. ”

Grace C, MS, CCC-SLP
Program Development Specialist

I have always had a passion for languages and the way language connects us to the world around us. Combining my love of languages with my passion for working with children brought me to the career of speech-language pathology.
