Hello, I'm Devina King.

I am licensed occupational therapist (working under the name Devina Robinson at the moment). 

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and am a Certified ADHD Rehabilitation Specialist, Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Specialist, Safe and Sound Trained Provider, and ILS Focus System Trained Provider. Over the past 18 years, I have dedicated my career to working with children in various capacities. I have 10 years of clinical experience as an occupational therapist across diverse settings, including schools, early intervention programs, hospitals, and outpatient clinics.

 

I am passionate about disability advocacy and enabling participation, which has led me to take on various roles, including educating parents and other professionals. I find great joy in helping children and parents navigate the complexities of their child’s brain and body, and seeing kids participate in activities that are meaningful to them and their families. As an educator, I develop curricula for occupational therapy programs, author books, and create continuing education courses in various areas of occupational therapy practice.

 

My passion for disability advocacy and enabling participation started when my son was born extremely premature, introducing me to the field of occupational therapy. While my initial love was interventions for physical disabilities, my life experiences—particularly parenting another child with anxiety and other disabilities, which led to behavioral difficulties before we understood her unmet needs and skill gaps—have steered my heart toward enabling behavioral success in children with sensory processing difficulties, motor planning, learning disabilities, autism, anxiety, ADHD, and executive function difficulties. Being autistic myself and my personal experience as a parent bring unique insights to my practice, enabling me to better understand and support my patients.
