“With the Right Support, Every Child Can Shine”

Ms. Lakshmi Reddy

Pediatric Occupational Therapist

Ms. Lakshmi Reddy is a Pediatric Occupational Therapist with over five years of experience supporting children with developmental delays, sensory processing challenges, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, and emotional regulation needs. At SHINE Child Development Center, she blends therapeutic structure with creativity, using movement, art, and play to help children develop essential functional skills in an engaging and confidence-building way.

Personal Experience:

Lakshmi’s therapeutic approach is deeply influenced by her passion for art and dance, which she thoughtfully integrates into occupational therapy sessions. She believes that children learn best when they feel safe, motivated, and free to express themselves. Through creative movement and sensory-rich activities, she supports the development of motor coordination, sensory regulation, attention, and emotional control.

Her sessions are carefully designed to feel enjoyable while remaining goal-focused, helping children strengthen independence and self-confidence at their own pace. Calm, encouraging, and observant, Lakshmi creates a nurturing environment where children feel supported as they explore their abilities and build everyday life skills.
