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.”

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.“
