Occupational Therapist Assistant
Kimberly Kaufman
Hi, I’m Kim! I work as an occupational therapist assistant (OTA) under the supervision of Heidi Watson. I mainly work with children and young adults who need support to handle the stressors and symptoms of ADHD, ASD, anxiety, depression, and PDA. I am committed to learning as much as possible about supporting children, youth, and young adults on their developmental journey.
I am a 3rd-year Bachelor of Social Work student learning about and implementing creative interventions, evidence-based and person-centered approaches, and incorporating strengths-based practices. My experience working with young adults and children as a swimming instructor helps me continue to learn and try again when I miss the mark in sessions!
Fun fact: I love animals and can be found trying to befriend any I meet. As a born and raised farmgirl, I’ve met cows, horses, sheep, goats, dogs, cats, and chickens. Out of all these hundreds of animals, I have only met three (my sister’s cat, a cow born the same year as me, and a rooster) I could not befriend.
