Darlene Logan OTR/L

Darlene has been an Occupational Therapist for 20+ years and loves working with children to help them grow to become the wonderful “little people” that they are. She received her Bachelor of Science degree from Texas Woman’s University in Houston Texas and has continued her education specializing in Sensory Process deficits, Autism, Integrated Listening Systems, Reflex Integration Training, feeding difficulty vs. “Picky Eaters” and Developmental Delays in all ages but especially birth to 4 years old.

As a Pediatric Occupational Therapist she believes in putting the “fun” back in “functional” to help all those entrusted to her care to be successful in all that they attempt to do every day.  It hurts her heart to hear of little ones being “asked to leave day-cares” because they are “not a good fit” if it is sensory related issues that “looks” like bad behavior. She also believes strongly in supporting the whole family to thrive and succeed during difficult times.

Darlene has lived in Washington for many years and enjoys the beauty of this state along with kayaking and “creaky knees” hiking trails.
