Let's Get Started Together
hey, I'm Amy
Amy Duong, OTR/L, SWC
I'm a pediatric occupational therapist passionate about collaborating with families to create innovative solutions for everyday challenges through play.
Everyone deserves their best chance at life. As an OT, I see the potential in every child and want to empower families. I have a toolbox full of actionable strategies to help your child do the things they want and need to do.
I'm also a mom of two little girls, which has given me a newfound perspective on what it means to be a caregiver who just wants the best for their child. Since becoming a mom, it's truly helped me reflect on my therapy style and connect more deeply with the families I serve.
At Elevate Pediatric Therapy, we believe play is the most important activity in a child's daily life. Children learn to walk, talk, eat, and explore their environment through play. We aim to empower your family's understanding of purposeful play to help your child thrive.
