Who are We?
Hi, we're Erika + Megan
We are two pediatric Occupational Therapists based in NYC & CT!
We started our mOTivate through play journey through providing families and therapists fun + motivating activity ideas on social media to help kids develop new or challenging skills. ​Overtime, we began creating resources filled with our favorite products and items used in therapy sessions; hosted family education sessions for schools; co-hosted sensorimotor enrichment classes; and provided in home occupational therapy sessions.
​​
We continued to grow professionally which led us to bring together a team of occupational therapists who are just as mOTivated as we are to help children and families gain independence with every day activities at home and in school. mOTivate through play's therapists lead in home sessions and meet the child where they are to help foster the continuation of developing skills at their pace - so they can participate in their daily occupations: eating, dressing, playing, exploring, learning + being a kid!
