We are excited to welcome Kiratinoot Luanganggoon, Pediatric Occupational Therapist, to ISB as another step toward becoming a more inclusive school. Kira will begin providing services on a part time basis later this semester.
Occupational therapists are healthcare professionals who support children in developing the skills they need for playing, learning, and taking care of themselves. They help children become more independent in their everyday lives by targeting cognitive, physical, sensory, and motor skills. We are excited about the benefits that having an occupational therapist on campus will bring to our students with diverse learning needs.
Kira has her Master of Occupational Therapy Practice from LaTrobe University in Melbourne, and her BS in Occupational Therapy from Mahidol University.
To meet Kira and learn more about the role of an occupational therapist, please join our parent training next week Thursday from 8-9 am in the ESMPR. If you believe your child may need occupational therapy, please contact their counselor for more information.
