Rachel is amazing with our son and has made this whole experience amazing. First of all she travels to my sons school and meets with him there, which as a mom of 2 is so helpful and makes appointments possible. My son loves her and made so much progress in a short amount of time. What is really helpful in addition, is the guidance she provides us as parents to support him with his sensory needs. She also is intuitive and can identify other areas to support in, we really recommend Rachel. We did not want to wait for the process of the DOE to pay for services for our son and it has been worth every cent.

We're so grateful for Rachel! She's exceptionally thoughtful and thorough, always coming up with tailored and effective strategies. Thanks to her support, our child has improved so much and gained new skills. Rachel is incredibly knowledgeable, flexible, and collaborative - we can't recommend her enough!

I have had the pleasure of working with Rachel as a colleague in a school setting for neurodiverse students. Rachel is an incredibly thoughtful, compassionate professional with a warm and creative approach tailored to each student. She is so accepting of her students and a true pleasure to work with!

Rachel has been a dream come true for our son Ignacio. Her vast experience and dedication have made a significant difference in my son’s progress. She does not treat every student the same, she goes above and beyond to get them the best possible and customized treatment needed. For example, my son is visually impaired and this requires specific strategies. She has not only did the necessary research but also equipped herself with the skills and tools needed to better support my son. This is something only a very special and dedicated therapist would do to ensure a better future for my son. We are more than grateful to have Rachel in my son’s life. Carolina

Enthusiastic recommendation! Rachel is an incredible OT and an incredible person! For two years for kindergarten and 1st grade, Rachel was our son’s Freddy OT. We also hired Rachel privately to work with Freddy on his limited diet, as Rachel has experience with the SOS Approach to Feeding. At school and after school, Rachel worked with Freddy with such incredible depth of knowledge and thoughtfulness, compassion, and patience. She worked not just with Freddy but with us as a family - we always felt like a team. Rachel’s smart advice, professionalism, and compassion taught us so much and helped Freddy to grow immensely. She recognized and appreciated Freddy’s gifts but also pushed him to reach new heights. Freddy loves her and so do we all!

We have been working with Rachel for the past 9 months, and we are very happy with the progress our toddler has made. Rachel completed an in depth evaluation that helped us understand where we needed to focus, and has helped our son advance his skills related to self-regulation, group participation, executive functioning, fine motor skills, and motor planning. She approaches each session with a detailed plan, creative ways to engage and a lot of patience. We are grateful for her support and highly recommend Brooklyn OT to any parent looking for compassionate, skilled OT for their child.

At school, Rachel has worked with special needs kids and has been an excellent therapist as she helped them with their physical, developmental, emotional, and cognitive challenges. She listens carefully to parents and gives them advice about their kids, as well as assessing and planning for their future. If you choose her as your occupational therapist, you will be greatly blessed.

Rachel is wonderful! My daughter adored working with her and made significant progress very quickly!

Rachel was fantastic, her evaluation of my son was so thoughtful and detailed. I enjoyed every part of working with her. She has been such a blessing for our family and I think we will benefit from her expertise and experience for years to come.

Incredible team, helped our son so much!

I cannot recommend Rachel highly enough for your child's OT needs! Rachel's approach is very thorough, evidence-based, child-centered and extremely effective. Rachel helped my son achieve many goals in a very short amount of time, and my son really enjoys working with her. You will not find a more talented Pediatric OT in NYC than Rachel (and believe me-- we've looked!)

We have known Rachel for 3 years as my son’s OT. Rachel is passionate about her work and is always thorough with her training. She makes her sessions fun for kids and is an excellent motivator. Highly recommend!

My daughter made incredible progress working with Rachel. She always felt safe, supported and engaged. Rachel was patient, creative and truly understood her needs. I am so grateful for the care she has provided! Highly recommended!

Deeply passionate about helping children with diverse needs thrive, patient, extremely knowledgeable, and rooted in evidence-based practices, Rachel at Brooklyn OT represents the very best of occupational therapy. Her family-centered care model ensures the entire family feels supported and oriented toward the same goals, and her willingness to travel to clients for sessions makes scheduling a breeze. I cannot recommend her services enough!

I have two sons. The older one has a very keen sense of observation and doesn't get himself in dangerous situations. The younger one was a lot more excited to try new things without regard to safety. I brought him to Rachel with this observation and after a few sessions she miraculously turned my 3 year old into a keen observer of his environment. I am now a lot more at ease when it comes to crossing the road, navigating parking lots because i know he's finally paying attention. Thank you Rachel !

My daughter worked with Rachel for about 18 months and the whole family couldn’t be happier with the experience. Rachel is talented, warm, engaging, detailed, and above all, effective. Our daughter’s sessions were tailored to her specific needs and Rachel was able to teach effective techniques and strategies that gave our daughter the skills and confidence to thrive. Our work with Rachel and Brooklyn OT was so impactful and we highly recommend her services to anyone considering them for their child.
