Donna became an Occupational Therapist in 1986 and founded Donna Klein & Associates to provide OT and PT services.

As a mom herself, she genuinely understands parental concerns and believes every parent is his/her child’s best advocate. Both parents and administrators find Donna to be highly knowledgeable, easy to work with and an asset to their team.

Donna’s expertise lies in Sensory Integration, Autism Spectrum disorders, ADHD/executive functioning limitations and perceptual motor disabilities. She received a Bachelor of Science in OT from S.U.N.Y. Buffalo, a Master’s Degree in developmental psychology from Columbia University and holds a Certification in Sensory Integration.

Meet Casey - Our new addition

Casey is an English Goldendoodle. She is a wonderful addition to our staff allowing children their space if they choose not to interact with her or providing unconditional love, patience and a lovely tactile experience if they choose to get to know her. Casey performs tricks on command, can sit at a hesitant child’s feet or can allow warm hugs as needed.  Donna is thrilled to have her as part of our larger family. Casey loves tummy rubs, treats and swimming in lakes.

We will always miss and cherish the time we had with Sunny. These two pups would have been best friends.
