Clare Lawlor, OTR/L

She works with children from birth to 18 years old to improve independence and functional skills in their everyday lives. She has seen first-hand the positive impact the Tummy Time!™ Method can have on promoting physical, sensory, and developmental skills in an infant. She believes so strongly in this method because of its long-term physical benefits in reducing the impact of retained reflexed, motor coordination deficits, and sensory needs later in development and life. She recommends and educates families on the Tummy Time!™ Method being a fantastic way to bond and engage with your pre-crawling babies! |
