My name is Melissa Leclerc, OTR/L. I live in Westchester, NY with my husband, two daughters (14 and 6 years old), and no pets but a couple of fake plants that hope to be real plants one day. I obtained my master's degree in Occupational Therapy from Dominican University in Orangeburg, NY.  I have been a practicing OT with the NYC Public Schools since 2016. I later joined the CAT team in 2021 to expand my practice and expertise in the field of assistive technology. During my career, I have been uniquely inspired by all pursuits that enhance independence, access, and equity for all persons including the most simple, elegant approaches to the most creative solutions. Most of all, I am inspired by the amazing students and colleagues I get to collaborate with year around!
