Yu-Hsin
Occupational therapist
I am a pediatric occupational therapist specializing in children development. I am competent in conducting various developmental assessments and creating an individualized program that tailored to each child’s unique needs in order to achieve quality of life for each child. Over the years, I have worked closely with parents to address challenges in parenting, and I’ve learned that every child has their own pace and qualities. I work collaboratively with parents by active listening and understanding their needs and challenges when raising their child.
Parents are the most important companions as children explore the world and discover themselves. I value collaboration and communication with caregivers, and I enjoy working together to find the best guidance for each child. When we are willing to understand one another, new possibilities emerge.
I believe that by pacing and quality communication between the child and parent enables the parent-child relationships to be well developed in their own rhythm and connection. I look forward to joining you in gently supporting your child—and yourself—on this journey, so we can move forward together with greater confidence.
