Kassidy graduated with her master’s in occupational therapy from Gannon University in 2020. She has over three years clinical experience working with pediatric patients in a sensory clinic as well as natural environments. She has experience with a wide variety of diagnoses including autism spectrum disorder, developmental delays, sensory processing disorder, cerebral palsy, and down syndrome.

Kassidy became interested in pursuing a career in pediatrics after a clinical rotation through the Cleveland Clinic Children’s Hospital specializing in constraint induced movement therapy for children with cerebral palsy. She also had the opportunity to complete a clinical rotation in Guatemala working with adults and children at a day program. This rotation showcased the benefits of inclusion, advocacy, and community support.
