Trainer/Occupational​ Therapy Assistant

“I am a Certified Occupational Therapy ​Assistant. Occupational Therapy seeks to ​understand a person in their entirety to identify ​any obstacles that may prevent them from ​doing what they need or want to do. At ​Friendship Circle, I use my education to identify ​obstacles that may be a barrier for our trainees ​in the workforce. We also identify our trainees’ ​strengths and teach them to use those ​strengths as tools to grow. My favorite ​component of our employment training ​program is the close relationships that we ​build with our trainees. It is so special to be ​able to connect with our trainees and share life ​experiences, senses of humor, and build ​confidence together”
