Hi, I’m Emily Zimmer, a licensed occupational therapist with a deep passion for supporting children’s development through play. Before becoming an OT, I worked as a special education teacher, which gave me a strong foundation in understanding the diverse learning and sensory needs of children. That experience continues to shape my therapy approach today.

I earned my Master’s in Occupational Therapy from The University of Findlay and now specialize in play-based therapy that promotes motor skills, sensory regulation, social-emotional growth, and daily living independence. I believe that play is a child’s most natural and powerful way to learn—and I design each session to feel fun, safe, and meaningful. 

My goal is to help every child feel confident, capable, and understood. I’m committed to partnering closely with families to support carryover at home and celebrate progress every step of the way.
