About Gwyn Smith, OTR/L

Biography

Professional Statement:

My work is focused on making a positive impact on our community by helping kids build meaningful skills and confidence in their everyday activities. 

Why did you become a provider?

I became a pediatric occupational therapist because I was drawn to the holistic, whole-child occupational therapy offers. I love the neurodevelopmental side of OT and how much we can support the brain as children learn and build new skills. Play is such an essential part of child's development, and I love using play as a meaningful and natural way to create progress. 

What is the most important this for patients to know about you?

I am extremely passionate about my clients and love to help them build new skills. I enjoy partnering with families to aid in their child's development and help them reach their goals.
