Madisson Walker, MS, OTR/L

Occupational Therapist, Registered and Licensed, CA

I earned my Master of Occupational Therapy degree from Dominican University of California in 2023 through an accelerated 4+1 BS/MS program, after completing a Bachelor’s in Health Science with a focus in Psychology in 2022 . For the past 2.5 years, I’ve worked in a private pediatric occupational therapy clinic alongside speech therapists, supporting children across a range of developmental stages—primarily those on the autism spectrum.

I have a strong passion for helping children build emotional regulation strategies, integrate retained reflexes, and develop sensory modulation skills. I believe these foundational areas are essential for children to confidently engage in daily routines, learning, and play.

My therapy approach is child-led and play-centered. I strive to create an environment where each child feels safe, motivated, and empowered to explore new skills. I also value collaboration with parents and caregivers—taking the time to understand each child’s unique personality, interests, and needs.

Together, we build meaningful strategies that extend beyond the clinic and support growth in daily life. I love seeing children gain confidence and independence, and I feel privileged to play a role in their developmental journey.
