Hello!

I am Deborah Herzog, OTR/L, CPRCS
Occupational Therapist

I am an Occupational Therapist and the founder of St. Nicholas Children’s Therapies. I hold a National Board Certification in Occupational Therapy with emphasis in pediatrics and certification in primitive reflex clinical specialist.  Graduated from the University of Kansas Medical Center. I have 29 years of experience. 6 years in schools with professional and personal experience working with children who struggle with reading, learning, sensory processing, social skills, anxiety, maladaptive behaviors, and self-regulation. While I treat and help remediate a wide range of neurodevelopmental diagnoses and disorders, my specialties are learning disabilities, Autism, ADHD, dyslexia, social skills, anxiety, and maladaptive behaviors, visual perceptual for reading, sensory processing, primitive reflexes, and development of the client’s sensory system for increasing abilities to take in and process new information.

 

 I have been on the faculty at Cleveland University in the Occupational Therapy Assistant program and a presenter at area developmental groups.
