Occupational Therapy

Megan Hardin OTR/L
Occupational Therapist

Megan is  an occupational therapist who graduated with her masters degree from Spalding University in 2016.

 

Her primary field is pediatrics with a focus on sensory integration, feeding and motor skills. In 2019, she completed training for the SOS approach to feeding. Megan loves being able to help children and their families with feeding because it is such an important life skill!

She provides parents with education to help at home while looking into all aspects of feeding (motor, oral, behavioral/learning, medical, sensory and nutritional factors) and using play to help a child become more comfortable with food and eating! 

 

Megan has been a Nelson county resident since 2013 and loves the area. She married her husband in 2016 and they have 2 wild boys.

 

When Megan is not providing therapy, she is more than likely outdoors doing something like hiking, camping or swimming with her family.

Occupational Therapy

Amy Keeling Walton OTR/L
Occupational Therapist 

Amy is passionate about helping children reach their fullest potential through the power of play!  

 

She received her Bachelor of Science degree in Occupational Therapy from Eastern Kentucky University in 1999. She worked for 6 years in the school system before transitioning to being a stay-at-home mom.

During her tenure at home, she started a professional organizing business and balanced that spin-off career with her mom jobs, working with students in Girl Scouts, at her church, and as an assistant swim coach.

Now, she’s back and really excited to finally work in her dream setting—outpatient therapy!  She believes that therapy should be functional, child and family-centered, and — most importantly— FUN!

 

Her approach focuses on building confidence and independence through interest focused, play-based intervention and partnering closely with parents and families to ensure therapy goals carry over into daily routines. She’s a firm believer that the best progress happens when a child feels seen, supported, and safe to try new things.

 

Amy is “from here,” as the locals say…raised on a dairy farm in the Cedar Creek area of the county! When she’s not working with kids or organizing, you can find her reading, gardening, refinishing furniture, helping out at a friend’s restaurant, or spending time with her family and friends!
