Insight to Autism: Neuro-Affirming Practice

My name is Dr. Lisa Marnell. I am a pediatric occupational therapist, having graduated from Tufts University with a Master of Science and from Boston University with a Doctorate. I am honored to be a member of the Faculty at Boston University. I specialize in sensory processing, executive function, and working with kids and teens with autism and am diagnosed on the autism spectrum myself. 

Incorporating joy and meaning into the lives of children and teens is a cornerstone of occupational therapy practice. I began Kids Master Skills LLC in 2018 with the mission to help children develop the skills they need to reach their academic potential and to excel in daily life. My philosophy is to teach parents and professionals how to honor children and work to help them overcome obstacles while cultivating their autonomy and sense of agency.
