Graduation: Leading Specialist
Superpower: Motivation and faith in the child: I help children on the path to improvement, supporting their motivation for independence, because I know that every child is a real superhero and they will definitely succeed.
What is the most important thing in working with children: It always seems impossible until it is done. I believe that only through play, through close interaction can the best results be achieved. My work is not about pain, but about improving the quality of life of the child and his family. I give the child time, we work at his pace and enjoy the process.
I spend my free time with my family, relax, I like walking, because it helps me keep myself in shape and stay energetic for work. Also, I devote a lot of time to professional development, training and sharing experience with colleagues, because the main goal of occupational therapy is to help a child succeed in the activity that interests them or is necessary for their development, and we, as specialists, must always strive to become better in order to help children.
