Jesseca Wood
I am a full time Occupational Therapist licensed in the state of MI and registered with the National Board of Occupational Therapists. I currently work full time as a Occupational Therapist finishing my 6th year at Houghton Lake school, working with children of all ages.
I grew up in Midland Michigan before moving north to Houghton Lake in 2018. I graduated from Saginaw Valley State University in 2017. While my main expertise is in pediatrics, during college and on a as needed basis I have some experience in outpatient ortho, and skilled nursing. During college I participated in a research project evaluating the behavioral changes in children with Autism while partaking in a color coded keyboard piano learning system. Additionally in college I also had the opportunity to study abroad in Zambia Africa building homes for aids orphans.
Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my niece and 3 nephews, as well as enjoy going fishing, and camping. I have a passion for tortoises and turtles, owning one Sulcata tortoises named Walter (8yrs), Additionally I have 2 furbabies, I have a mixed Ragdoll/Maincoon cat named Felix (6 yrs), and a Golden Retriever (6 yrs).
I'm looking forward to spending additional time each week doing a job that I love. I believe in a person centered approach to therapy meaning that the child and the family direct the goals that are both important and meaningful to them and their child.
