Therapists I have known and (mostly) loved.

This manuscript embeds the author's firsthand experiences with pediatric occupational therapy with her expertise as a developmental psychologist interested in families and their collaborations with service professionals. The author's own experiences are used to illustrate points made in literature regarding parent-professional collaborations, as well as points made in interviews of other parents of young children with special needs. It is hoped that the article can serve as a "starting off" point for discussions and partnership building between pediatric occupational therapists and the children and families they serve.
