Neurology
NDT is an advanced therapeutic approach practiced by experienced Occupational Therapist, Physical Therapists and Speech-Language Pathologists. This hands-on approach is used in working with people with central nervous system insults that create difficulties in controlling movement. Neurodevelopmental Therapy is based in principles of human neurology and physiology. Individual who have minimal to severe motor challenges can benefit from the NDT approach.

Mental Health
Caitlin began her occupational therapy career at PTC in 2017 after graduating with her MSOT from Tufts University and moving back to her hometown of Santa Cruz. Caitlin’s favorite aspect of pediatric OT is the play-based, child-directed approach that supports children in exploring their creativity and motivation while building confidence and independence. She has additional training in sensory integration, social learning, and trauma-informed therapy. Caitlin also works at Natividad Medical Center on the Mental Health Unit and is passionate about supporting mental health and wellness across the lifespan. Outside of work, Caitlin loves traveling, singing, and spending time with her husband, Brendan, and their two dogs, Cash and Moshi.
