These are the voices of parents, educators, and fellow therapists who have worked alongside Julie throughout her career.
Julie is not just an OT — she is a mom, an advocate, a cheerleader, and a champion for our children. When my son had to transfer to a new school I was beside myself. In my first team meeting, Julie was there — and what a difference she made. I knew from how she spoke about my son that he was not another file or number. She saw my son for the gift that he is. As a mom who has been on this ASD journey for 14 years, she is simply a godsend. Every child deserves the opportunity to have Julie as their therapist. It is clear to me that this is not just a job — it is her purpose and assignment here on earth.
What I find most remarkable about Julie's work is her ability to understand and study each child's specific needs and meet those needs in the most engaging way possible.
My daughter always looks forward to Julie's OT visits. The sessions have been very helpful for her sensory and fine motor issues. Julie genuinely cares about our daughter's overall well-being and has provided OT strategies she can use in her daily life. We continue to see improvement and can't thank Julie enough.
Julie Driscoll is a consummate professional who throughout her career has brought the highest level of care and expertise to children ranging in age from six months to 18 years. Her enthusiasm, knowledge, and passion for bettering the lives of all the children she treats is respected, appreciated, and commendable.
Julie's strengths are broad. She is an effective therapist and collaborator. Her relationship with students, colleagues, and parents is strong. She is highly approachable, professional, and a strong advocate for her students. The breadth of knowledge she possesses strongly impacts her students as they meet the demands of school and life.
Julie is able to take a complex student situation and explain it to parents and educators in ways that are understandable and informative. I have witnessed firsthand a parent break down in tears as Julie showed them the progress their child had made. She takes into consideration the child as an individual — their sensory needs — and translates that into effective treatment.
