Jenn Wallace | Occupational Therapy Assistant

I attended Cape Fear Community College in Wilmington, NC and received my Associates Degree in occupational therapy assisting in May of 2022. After graduation I worked in pediatrics in both the clinic and school setting as well as with adults in a lymphedema and wound care clinic. I am very passionate about working with children and aiding in providing a strong foundation for them and their families to grow from in order to be successful both functionally and emotionally. I have experience in sensory processing disorders, Autism, ADHD, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, fine-motor and gross-motor delays, visual-motor integration challenges, and developmental coordination disorders. I feel strongly about providing skilled interventions through the use of kindness, adaptability, structure, empathy and to never stop learning. In my spare time I love to hike, playing tug of war with my dog Opie, exploring new places and soaking up as much quality friend and family time as possible. I could not be more thrilled to be a part of the Small Talk team and to continuously growing my OT tool box with them.
