Carrice McDaniel

OTD, OTR/L

Role:

Occupational Therapist

Year I joined CPT:

2023

Favorite thing about CPT:

At CPT, the child truly comes first. Each treatment is shaped to meet the needs of your child, while challenging them to achieve new skills.

Favorite intervention area:

My favorite area is sensory interventions. Everything from swings, crash pads, body rolling, texture aversion, etc.

Why occupational therapy?

I chose OT because of the individualistic nature and holistic qualities. I love meeting each child where they are, considering all their needs, and crafting interventions that increase their independence within their home, school and community.

Outside of CPT:

My whole family currently resides in Southern Illinois. I am married and my husband and I love to do anything active! Our favorites include going to the gym, hiking, biking and trying all the best brunch spots.

What I wish more people knew about occupational therapy:

We treat more than hands and shoulders and we don’t just pinch clothes pins all day!
