Thom Worcester Area Early Intervention Announces Above and Beyond Clinician Recognition Recipient

Thom Worcester Area Early Intervention is excited to announce Amanda Smith, Occupational Therapist, as the newest recipient of our program's Above and Beyond Clinician Recognition Award!
Since joining Thom in June 2025, Amanda has become a valued resource for her colleagues and the children and families we serve. She consistently goes above and beyond to share her expertise, provide thoughtful OT consultations, and support fellow clinicians.
With a strong foundation in Sensory Integration Theory, Amanda brings an individualized, family-centered approach to her work. She is especially skilled in supporting children with sensory processing differences, offering practical strategies that can be incorporated into everyday routines and activities.

Amanda has pursued specialized training in several areas, including:
• Sensory Processing & Feeding: Uses her training in sensory processing and the SOS Approach to Feeding to support children's participation in daily activities and mealtime routines.
• Fine Motor Development: Supports foundational fine motor skills, coordination, body awareness, and learning through play.
• Engagement & Interaction: Uses relationship-based, play-focused strategies to encourage children's engagement and connection with caregivers.

Amanda is also committed to ongoing professional growth. Following her attendance at the 2025 Massachusetts Association for Occupational Therapy (MAOT) Conference, she is collaborating with colleagues on a presentation proposal about torticollis for the May 2027 Massachusetts Early Intervention Consortium (MEIC) Conference.

Thank you, Amanda, for your dedication, collaborative spirit, and willingness to share your expertise! We are grateful for the many ways you go above and beyond to support your colleagues and the children and families we serve!

Happy National Physical Therapy Month!
At Thom, our physical therapists do so much more than support movement and motor development. They partner with families, build confidence, encourage participation, and help children experience the joy of reaching new milestones in the routines and activities that matter most.
We are incredibly grateful for the skill, compassion, creativity, and dedication our PTs bring to children and families each day.
Please join us in celebrating our wonderful PTs across Thom this month!

When we build developmental environments rich with opportunity—including access to safe green space, nutritious foods, and more—we can support the developing brain and other biological systems.
