OUR VISION
The primary goal of Occupational Therapy is to enable you to participate in everyday activities. Clients from 0 - 100 years old can benefit from Occupational Therapy- learning the skills they need to move forward in life.
At Little Bird Courage Company, we work with clients one on one to get the courage they need to take flight. Whether that means meeting developmental milestones, evaluating and treating individual sensory processing challenges, learning life skills, gaining movement, or strengthening their systems.

It is with great pleasure that I can give my highest recommendation of Monica Barr as an Occupational Therapist (OT). I have been fortunate to have had her work with my son for almost 15 years. She worked with him when he was 3-6 year old and again in his late teens. My son has Autism and some challenging physical issues that go along with that. She is an OT with extraordinary talent. She sets high, but not unreasonable, standards for her students and then she gives them the tools, along with the parents, to succeed. Students are motivated and her teaching techniques are reflected in their successes.
Monica is an insightful OT, assessing early on what the child/student is struggling with. She takes those extra steps to then help and work with parents. She cares deeply about each child and is passionate about her work. I am confident that you will be pleased with her abilities and creativeness. You won’t find a better OT.

Monica is an excellent OT. Her knowledge and experience are evident in everything she does with her clients. She immediately formed a bond with my son and he looked forward to their OT sessions. He has made tremendous gains while working with Monica which not only helped in his daily life but fostered a growth in his confidence. We are so grateful for all she has done for our family.
My son loved when Monica came to see him. Her enthusiasm and love for her work made his OT “work” seem like play to him. Monica is an excellent communicator with children and parents. She worked cooperatively with our family to establish goals for my son. It was such a wonderful moment when my son reached those goals.

Monica worked with my son from 15 months old until he was 3. Monica is an amazing OT and person. Every session she was prepared and had an inviting smile on her face. When my son was having a bad day this smile never faltered and she always approached this with compassion and respect.
As a parent I felt like she really listened to me and took into account my concerns. She approached each difficulty with care and attention. I can recall many times that she showed me things my son could do when I thought he couldn't I have worked with many therapists through the years and Monica honestly makes my top 3. I have learned a lot from Monica and feel she has played a huge role in my son’s success.

I highly recommend Monica and her amazing company “Little Bird Courage”. For a year, my son and I had the pleasure of working with Monica. Monica is a wonderful, genuine, caring and loving occupational therapist. Monica is very reliable and accommodating with our busy family schedule. I truly love that Monica supports my son by encouraging his strengths and always giving us opportunities to grow. I can attest to my son’s progression because of her guidance and knowledge. My son would have 6 months goals (of multiple combined therapy teams) and would achieve them within a month or two I’m so proud of my son’s progress and success!!! Monica is also very resourceful with information within our communities My son loves nature and she would always let us know what events we can participate in within our community. My son and I are truly blessed to have Monica as his OT. And I’m so thankful for all my son’s achievements!!!

Monica is our greatest cheerleader and advocate and we couldn't be more grateful for all she's done to empower our child and us. I'm incredibly impressed by her amazing insight. From day 1 she saw my concerns without me saying a word. It was a breath of fresh air after being dismissed by doctors in the past. She truly treats the whole child and I've watched our son flourish and grow in amazing ways. She's truly changed our son's life for the better. Her love, connection with, and knowledge of children is priceless. I can't recommend her enough!
