About me:
Stephanie Dickson, Founder and Instructor
My name is Stephanie! One of my biggest passions has always been to work with children and make a difference in their lives. For the past 15 years I have provided care for children in various roles and settings. My most current role has been working as a Pediatric Occupational Therapy Assistant with Mindful Motion Therapy LLC. When I found Occupational Therapy I knew it was what I wanted to do. In 2022, I went on to earn my associates degree in Occupational Therapy from Manchester Community College, knowing that I wanted to go into the pediatric field. I have worked with children with Autism, Down Syndrome, ADHD, Sensory Processing Disorder, and other individual learning differences.
Once I became a pediatric COTA/L, I fell in love with community programs and using the skills I learned in my studies to create and provide meaningful programs that support developmental milestones and are inclusive to all children and families.
I created Motion Quest LLC with the drive to provide more youth programs to Connecticut that fosters learning, creativity, physical growth, and social growth.
Interests outside of work:
Some of my favorite things to do include spending time with family and friends, and playing games. I am the cook in my household and enjoy trying new recipes. I live an active lifestyle most of the time but also enjoy my downtime. I can read for hours and enjoy all genres of books. I am a summer girl at heart and love to be outside and in the sun when I can be.
