Emma Wilford has been working as a pediatric occupational therapist in Tucson for two years. She was born and raised in Tucson, went to NAU to get her undergraduate degree in psychology, and then received her Doctorate of Occupational Therapy at Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvania. Emma loves working as a pediatric occupational therapist because it allows her to be creative and give children the skills they need to fully participate in their daily life. During her career she has gained experience with equine assisted therapy, vision therapy, sensory regulation, and she is Introductory Level A certified for intensive therapy services through Dynamic Movement Interventions. While Emma has gained a variety of skills throughout her schooling and career she is looking forward to learning more and growing into this new position at Spectrum of Joy Academy. She cannot wait to work with this dynamic team of professionals to help provide comprehensive support and guidance for both the students at this school as well as the families from the community that are looking to receive services.
