Parent Testimonials

  • Our son's work with Samantha H. is still paying dividends months after he was discharged. Our son proudly refers to the fine motor skills and techniques he learned working with her for several months this year. Samantha always made OT fun and exciting for our son--he would look forward to their meeting all week, even getting himself ready for school early on OT days. Our son made notable progress throughout their time together--it was well worth the investment. Samantha is truly wonderful and a professional. Thank you! - Lauren S.

  • My son's OT was Samantha Holzschu. I can see the tremendous growth in my son's occupational therapy sessions. Not only did Samantha provide OT services to my son, but she also consulted with my son's school staff to help my son thrive at school. Samantha gave us tangible strategies like social stories, sensory diet, and coping skills to use with our son at home, school, and the community. - Yesi N.

  • Samantha was wonderful with our son. She seamlessly coordinated with his school, ensuring a smooth and supportive experience, and consistently provided us with thorough updates after each session. Her warmth, dedication, and ability to connect made a lasting impression—our son not only looked forward to every meeting with her but even described her as one of his favorite “teachers.” He would come home excited to share everything he had learned from Ms. Samantha that day. We were sad (and proud of our son) when she told us he no longer needed her services!

    “Samantha is one of the most professional and organized colleagues I have had. She was always prepared for her treatment sessions and was always fully engaged with the children. Whether it was pre-writing activities or creating an obstacle course, Samantha was always creative and capable of working with different age ranges and children with different diagnoses. She was a pleasure to work with and a pleasure to observe from the sidelines. She knows what she is doing and is an excellent OT and leader!”

  • Brigid B. OTS

    Samantha is an incredible OT who works closely with each of her clients to identify their interests, strengths, and goals. She brings this same person-centered approach to her mentor & supervisor roles. As a clinical instructor, Samantha took the time after each of my sessions to highlight both strengths and opportunities. At the same, time she gave me the space to problem solve and develop my own style of treatment. Samantha’s dedication to both her clients and to my learning created the perfect balance of guidance and independence. I could not have asked for a better OT to train me or mentor to support me!
