She has also completed a Post Professional Certificate in Pediatrics from Misericordia University in 2007. She first worked at St. John of God School in South Jersey, which is a specialized school for children with cognitive disabilities. Since then she has been working in a variety of programs including Outpatient, Inpatient, Day Hospital, and Medical Day Program. These settings afford her to work with populations including Autism, ADHD, ODD, SPD/SMD, CP, Concussion, TBI, prematurity, Ortho, Rehabilitation/Surgery, and genetic disorders. Currently, she is a full time Clinical Educator. Felicia utilizes her knowledge gained via continuing education and experience to assist in mentoring and guiding other OTs. She heavily uses the knowledge she has gained from sensory integration and NDT as a treatment reference for the various populations of children she treats. She addresses many different skills within her individual treatment sessions: coordination/movement disorders, behavior modification, sensory difficulties (anxiety/aggression levels), fine motor skills, activities of daily living (ADLs), and socialization/play.
