Rochelle McLaughlin, MS, OTR/L received her Master’s in Occupational Therapy from San Jose State University and she taught at SJSU for over 20 years. She worked with pediatrics in acute care, inpatient, day treatment, and outpatient treatment beginning in 2001. Since 2004, Rochelle has worked in early intervention as well as with kids aged 3-18 with sensory integration, learning disabilities, ADHD, praxis, autism spectrum, and emotion and sensory modulation challenges in their schools, homes, and communities for over two decades.
