Jill Perry, MHA, MS, OTR/L graduated in 1978 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Special Education.  While teaching and working in a community health center, she developed a social pragmatics group with a speech-language pathologist and there fell in love with the idea that two (or more) frames of reference were better than one.  Jill went on to earn a Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy from Boston University in 1985 and became certified in administering the Southern California Sensory Integration Test; the original Sensory Integration test developed by Dr. Jean Ayres.  She has worked in hospitals, public schools, collaboratives, and private practice clinics as a pediatric OT and supervisor and taught at Leslie College as an adjunct professor.  Jill joined Children’s Therapy Associates in 1996, which was founded by 3 SLPs with a vision of creating a multi-disciplinary freestanding clinic.  After developing the OT practice at CTA, Jill became a partner and has been dedicated to serving children and their families in the Boston area.  Jill received the Margaret L. Bauman award for Outstanding Therapist Provider to the autism community in 1998.  She was selected as a LEND fellow (Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental Disorders) in 2002 and went on to earn her Master’s in Health Administration through Suffolk University in 2005.  She became a practitioner with Integrated Listening Systems (iLs) and The Listening Program (TLP) and is enjoying adding the listening aspect to her therapy.  Over the years, Jill has developed a special interest in and experience with children who have non-verbal learning disabilities, autistic spectrum disorders, and/or sensory processing disorders.  The challenges they share in social situations are complex and best addressed in a collaborative manner.  Jill has found that working on these challenges through social pragmatics groups has been most successful for children and families and thus most satisfying.  Developing the Social Adventures App through a new, collaborative company, all4mychild.com with Meghan and Karen has been a rewarding and powerful culmination of her years of service.
