I was not doing well. Other therapists were not helpful. Ushma understood that I was in pain. She helped me calm down. I wish her lots of success. Love, Ish

Back in 2017 I was able to shadow Ushma and see her work as an OT. I had been very interested in the field and seeing her work and really impact children's lives was what really convinced me that this is what I would like to do. She really knows how to work with children of varying special needs. Her passion and dedication for the field really shows through her work in helping each child become as independent as possible. It was truly a pleasure to see what an impact occupational therapy makes in a child's life and to meet someone like Ushma who is truly knowledgeable in her field.

Ushma mentored me (in a pediatric occupational therapy setting) while I was working to complete required volunteer hours in occupational therapy before applying to graduate school. I found her to be welcoming, intelligent, and patient. She was able to answer the many questions that I had regarding assessments, diagnoses, and treatments. Likewise, Ushma was competent, patient and engaging with her clients. She has a variety of unique and fun ways to engage children in therapy through play. I certainly recommend her to anyone looking for OT services.

We had the pleasure of working with Ushma for a year. Because of her skillful and individualized interventions, we saw dramatic improvement in a short period of time. For starters, Ushma provided us with the most detailed and thorough initial assessment/report I've ever seen from a occupational therapist (OT). Trust me, I'm a nurse. I've seen plenty. She's incredibly responsive, and offers the most helpful advice, as you navigate challenges and day-to-day activities. Pre-pandemic, we'd have our sessions at a local playground, which we really enjoyed. Our sessions are now in the comfort of our own backyard, and somehow she manages to make them just as fun. One of the things I appreciate most about Ushma is her child-led approach, collaborating effortlessly with our little one. We will forever be grateful for Ushma's help. It's not just us that sees how impactful her work has been with our child. Our school has mentioned it multiple times as well, and now regularly refers other students to her! I can't say enough good things about Ushma. Contact her, she's the OT BFF you need in your life.

Ushma is one of the most compassionate, dedicated and resourceful occupational therapists I've met. As a fellow OT I am always impressed by Ushma's drive to do better, her level of knowledge and competency in pediatric occupational therapy. She's always a step ahead, eager to learn, and deploys the most current and effective strategies in her practice. She's energetic, warm hearted, and loves what she does. I highly recommend her and World of OT to anyone looking for an occupational therapy evaluation or services. She truly touches people's lives and is able to improve the quality of life of every child and family she works with.

If you are looking for a passionate, caring and an OT who is truly driven by sharing her knowledge and experience in helping kids who need it, Ushma it is! I reached out to her to consult for my nephew, and even though he's in a different country, she consulted with my aunt periodically to guide her and also connected her with her OT network in that country. It's been about 2 years, and she continues to check-in with me about him. Thank you Ushma!

Ushma is energetic, creative and encouraging! She has been working with my child on his fine motor & visual perception skills for the last six months and my child is always excited to work with her. She is great at bringing out the best in him and she makes it easy for us as parents to do a home program with him. Ushma gives us lots of ideas and tools to work with. So far, we have seen great improvement and feel happy to see her each week!
