Presenter: Carrie Schmitt, OTR/L
Carolyn “Carrie” Schmitt is a 1996 graduate of the Medical College of Georgia Occupational Therapy program, and is currently pursuing her doctorate of occupational therapy through Boston University. Her doctoral project is on the topic of interoception. When she is not reading research or completing assignments, she loves serving children and adolescents who are seeking sensory health and wellness. Carrie loves a good book, spending time with family and friends, warm chocolate chip cookies, beaches, and blue skies. As a wife and mother to four children, one of Carrie’s favorite things is coaching parents who desire to understand their child’s unique, individual strengths and challenges. She is insatiably curious and always grateful for a new perspective.
