About Eleanor Leyden

I hold a Master\'s of Science in Occupational Therapy with valid licenses in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. I currently work in pediatrics and hand therapy - two of my passions. I also bring a strong background in teaching and education to my OT career. I can and do use French and Spanish within the therapeutic setting as I am fluent in both languages. In addition to hand therapy outpatient treatment and school-based related services, I have experience in outpatient physical rehabilitation, executive skills coaching, children\'s yoga and therapeutic horseback riding. A certified water exercise instructor I am currently working on additional certification in aquatic rehabilitation therapy.
