Michelle received her Bachelor's degree in pyschology from Auburn University and Master's of Science degree in occupational therapy from UAB. She has been working at the Children's Hospital of Alabama as an occupational therapist since August 2005. She is currently pursuing her clinical doctorate in occupational therapy. Michelle lives in Helena with her husband, but they are both originally from Auburn.
Services offered: Patients who come to clinic are assessed by occupational therapy to determine gross motor, fine motor, and visual motor skills. Occupational therapy works with patients to achieve and maintain independence. Michelle focuses on the areas of self-care (dressing, bathing, grooming, feeding), work/school, and play. She will work with the patient and his or her family to develop appropriate treatment programs and adaptations as needed. She will also educate patients and families on ways to conserve energy and adapt their activities/environment to meet their needs.
