Meeting Milestones Children's Therapies

Stephanie Bengali

Stephanie is a licensed and registered Occupational Therapist who received her master's degree from Boston University in 2012. She began her clinical experience working with adults with acquired brain injuries and spinal cord injuries at an inpatient rehabilitation center. While Stephanie immensely enjoyed her work with this population, she decided to transition her career back to her original passion of working with children at an outpatient pediatric clinic in early 2018. Stephanie took a brief absence from her career to raise her own two children; however, her love for Occupational Therapy persisted. She continued to take courses to advance her clinical knowledge and skills in the areas of pediatric feeding therapy, sensory integration therapy, childhood and infant development, and interoceptive awareness techniques. As a part of the Meeting Milestones Children's Therapies team, Stephanie has had the opportunity to be a part of the journeys of many children as they work to gain oral motor skills and develop an expanded food repertoire to become food explorers. Her completed training includes Starting First Foods The Baby Cued Method™, AEIOU: An Integrated Approach to Pediatric Feeding Comprehensive Professional Training Program, SOS Approach to Feeding, and now TOTS Training.
