PAULA MCCREEDY
Paula McCreedy graduated from the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington, with dual degrees in occupational therapy and psychology. She completed her masters’ degree in education at the University of New Orleans. With her husband, she moved to New York City from New Orleans, Louisiana in 1985 to take a teaching position at New York University.n 1998, a research study revealed that there was a severe shortage of occupational therapy services for children in the greater New York City area. In addition to providing occupational therapy to local preschools, charter schools, independent schools and developmental centers, Paula and the co-founders of SPOTS responded to the needs of children and their families by opening a Manhattan office and later a Brooklyn office. The founders of SPOTS have a unique understanding of the challenges of sensory dysregulation which upsets a child’s ability to play and enjoy the simple pleasures of childhood. We appreciate that at times sensory regulation problems leave a child hard to reach, hard to parent and hard to teach.
