About Jennifer Leiman M.S. OTR/L
I have been a treating occupational therapist (OT) for about 20 years, and have spent my entire time in pediatrics. I have a wide range of skills with a current focus on implementing strategies for improved legibility, executive function, and sensory tools within the structure of a school-based setting. I’m also a certified executive function coach. My husband and I live in northern NJ with our two young children. My older son is in middle school and has a diagnosis of Twice-Exceptional and my younger daughter is in elementary school with a diagnosis of PANS/Lyme.
My Goal I seek to integrate concrete tools that are child-specific yet appropriate for the entire classroom dynamic. I have also developed easy and effective handwriting and organizational strategies, striving to assist students and the classroom staff in achieving a student’s OT goals.
My Therapy Approach I believe in a student-focused, holistic approach, treating your children as if they were my own. I accomplish this by working collaboratively with students, teachers, and parents to help each student achieve their greatest potential.
