Cassie Kleinfelder, MOT, OTR/L
Villages Child Development Columbia, TN (901) 305-2101 [email protected] www.villageschilddevelopment.com I am co-founder of Villages and have been a pediatric OT since 2010. My heart is in early intervention, where I have spent a majority of my career. After practicing for nearly 9 years, the roles reversed and I became the worried parent when our 3rd baby was impacted with tongue, lip, and cheek ties. I sought all the knowledge that I could and that led me to the TTM. When my professional experience and experience as a parent collided, special things began to happen. God placed it in my heart to help in cultivating a community where families could learn from shared experiences of professionals in the field, but perhaps more importantly, from each other. Villages offers group wellness classes for children and their families, as well as individual occupational and physical therapy services in your home. Building Community. Empowering Families. |
