Welcome to Expanding Horizons in Education for OTPs! Emily Stone has been an occupational therapy practitioner since 2003. She completed a BS in OT from Lenior-Rhyne University, a post professional MHS in OT from the University of Florida in 2005, and a post professional OTD from Boston University in August 2023. When she began providing OT services at the Governor Morehead School for the Blind and Visually Impaired in 2014, she had a difficult time finding resources that applied specifically to her work as an OTP working with children and adolescents with low vision or blindness in a school setting. This was a frustrating experience for her. She has a passion for learning and improving her ability to help the students with whom she works by promoting the development of skills required to thrive not only at school, but within home and community settings as well. After close to ten years of experience with this population, she has developed greater expertise in the area of pediatric low vision, especially within school-based practice, and her goal is to share this knowledge with other OTPs. Hopefully you find this website helpful as a quick reference to the ECC, and also as a way to expand your own practice! Please contact her with any comments or questions!
