MOT, OTR/L
Bridgette Pepmeyer has been working as an OT for 12 years in various settings, with a background focusing mainly on neuro-rehabilitation. For the past three years, Bridgette has been helping to run a Café that employs adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities and has found that OTs can play a major role in helping these individuals engage meaningfully in employment. Through both adaptive and restorative lenses, and with a strategy-training guided discovery approach like CO-OP, Bridgette has worked to help adults with IDD soar past functional plateaus and gain vocational independence and a heightened sense of self-accomplishment.
