Meet Teacher Dara!
"Hi everyone! I’m Teacher Dara, and I’m so excited to share a bit of my journey with you.
When I first started college, I’ll be honest, I didn’t fully understand what Occupational Therapy was. But as I dove into my studies, I realized I hadn't just found a career; I had found my calling.
Today, I work with amazing children navigating ASD, ADHD, and other conditions in various clinics across Bataan. I approach every session with a compassionate heart, focusing on what each child can do. I’m a firm believer in celebrating the "small" wins, because buttoning a shirt or staying focused for five minutes today is a giant leap toward independence tomorrow.
In OT, we don’t just see limitations; we see endless possibilities. I’m here to help every child turn those possibilities into reality."
