Helping children gain the skills & confidence they need to succeed  since 2012.

Welcome to Philly OT!  We focus on the developmental success of your child,  starting with your child's strengths and building from there to reach their goals.  Our mission is to help children gain the confidence and skills they need to succeed through a child centered approach.  Philly OT had been located in Fairmount, Philadelphia PA until September 2021 when life took an unexpected but delightful turn and Jenna married and moved to Berkeley, CA.

 

Jenna Szoke, M.S.O.T., OTR/L

Jenna is a nationally board certified, Pennsylvania and California licensed occupational therapist who has focused her career on working with children ranging from birth through teenage years.  Since obtaining her Master of Science in Occupational Therapy degree in 2012, she has worked with children in a variety of settings including homes, preschools, and specialized center based programs.  

Jenna has advanced training in feeding therapy and has completed a wide variety of feeding courses including but not limited to Sequential Oral Sensory (SOS) Approach to Feeding, Talk Tools, and AEIOU Systematic Approach to Pediatric Feeding. Jenna and an SLP colleague co-designed and implemented a successful feeding therapy program in a special needs school. Jenna has advanced training in postural reflexes/reflex integration through Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration (MNRI) and ILS Primitive Reflexes. Jenna also has training in sensory integration, interoception, and handwriting through Handwriting/Learning Without Tears and Size Matters. 

She is certified in the D.I.R./Floortime model through Profectum and believes in a developmental relationship building and play based approach in order to treat the whole child.  Jenna values parent coaching as well as professional staff development, which she has provided for several private preschools and mentorship in Philadelphia and Central PA.  

When Jenna is not working, she enjoys Pilates, gardening, traveling, live music, spending time with loved ones, and exploring her new home in Berkeley, Ca.
