She enjoys getting to know each family and celebrating milestones big and small, from first smiles to first days of school. Outside of work, she enjoys reading, cooking and spending time with family and friends, which bring balance, energy, and joy into the care she provides.
Shannon Vobis, OTR/L and I’m an Occupational Therapist with a special passion for pediatrics If you're from the neighborhood, you might recognize me from my very first job at Kids N Shape! Although I officially graduated last year, I’ve had years of experience working with individuals across the Autism Spectrum, spanning almost all age groups. My younger brother was diagnosed with autism at age six, and his journey has been a part of mine ever since. He’s the reason I became an OT, and I believe this personal connection deepens my compassion and helps me build meaningful relationships with the children and families I work with. Outside of work, I love spending time with friends, family, and my four cats, all of whom I rescued locally! I’m so excited to get to know everyone and begin this journey together.
