Professional Development & School Consultation 

Practical strategies. Deeper understanding. Support that works in real classrooms.

Stride OT partners with schools and districts to help educators better understand executive functioning, self-regulation, and neurodivergent learners. 

Drawing on more than 20 years of experience as both a classroom educator and occupational therapist, Lena brings a unique understanding of the demands placed on students—and the realities educators face when trying to support them.

Professional development is practical, strengths-based, and designed to give educators strategies they can apply immediately.
