Carly Futterman, M.S. OTR/L, received her Masters of Science and Bachelors of Science in Occupational Therapy from Ithaca College. Following graduation, Carly moved to New York City and was practicing OT for several years in schools, sensory gyms and through teletherapy before moving to Maryland. She has experience working with children as young as 1 through the age of 21. Carly has experience treating children with various developmental disabilities and delays, including sensory processing, pervasive developmental disorders, executive functioning difficulties, learning disabilities, and other neurological and physical impairments.
Carly is certified in Learning Without Tears. She also has advanced training in Holistic Approach Neuro-Development Learning and Efficiency, Primitive Reflexes, Yoga to Improve Sensory, Self-Regulation and Motor Skills in Kids. Carly is also trained in Therapeutic Listening.
Carly’s passion for occupational therapy is evident when she is able to observe improvements in a child’s physical or emotional well-being. She firmly believes that work and play are so seamlessly intertwined and works hard to enhance every child’s outcome by targeting their individual likes and needs during each session to keep them motivated and engaged. When Carly is not treating children, she enjoys baking and hopes one day to incorporate her two passions.
