Occupational Therapists

LaDonna is the President/CEO of Beyond Boundaries OT/PT. She has a knack for leading, mentoring, and empowering employees. LaDonna recognizes that OT is a profession that requires sensitivity, understanding, and compassion, all of which are characteristics that she values tremendously.

LaDonna makes it her mission to be able to reach as many families and children who may need our support.  In order to do just that, LaDonna is able to think outside the box and is very creative in her approach to her mission.  Whether it is being able to expand our services by providing specialized training to our staff, or renovating a bus to offer “therapy on the go”, LaDonna’s heart and mind are open to many innovative ideas.

The relationships that LaDonna builds with employees, patients, families and the community are something that she holds very near to her heart.

Helping children and their families is always LaDonna’s number one priority. She looks forward to watching the kids learn new skills and have success generalizing those skills.  When the children excitedly explain the success they just experienced during a session, that joy just cannot be matched. 

Andrea views her clients as someone’s brother or sister, and she wants to help because at one time, someone was able to do that and be that for her family. Andrea’s special interest is hands!  She loves hand development and it excites her to help hands function.  Andrea is certified in the Assisting Hand Assessment (AHA) and has extensive training in Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT), which helps individuals with hand neglect, and through that programming, she and her clients find the strength in their hands and the power in their possibility!

Allie enjoys learning about every client’s interest and finding activities that are meaningful and exciting to each individual client. She uses this knowledge to form creative and fun interventions to work towards goals. Allie has a musical background and loves incorporating aspects of musical engagement when fitting for a client’s participation and growth. Allie strives to empower clients and their families, and she instills confidence through active listening, collaborative problem-solving, and celebrating all successes!

Bobbie is one of the therapists that is aboard our Mobile Therapy Unit, traveling to rural communities to offer occupational therapy near and far.  When she isn’t on the road, you can find her in our clinics creating fun therapy interventions and generating many giggles from our littles. Bobbie looks forward to being a part of her clients’ “team.” She supports them when things are hard, and celebrates all the small and large wins alongside them.  She also specializes in feeding therapy!

Brianna recently developed the “Sensational Tykes!” House of Everyday Learning camp which has been a huge success!  She also specializes in feeding therapy and other areas of interest include educating parents and the community about the role of OT and how they can help improve their daily lives. She particularly enjoys the uniqueness of each child and loves to celebrate every milestone!  

Joni brings an abundance of energy and positivity to the team.  Her warm smile and gentle demeanor allows her to connect with her clients so well. Creating one on one connections with her clients and using her joy and laughter to help make therapy fun is something Joni provides daily!  She is the creator of “Let’s Grow OuTside”, a nature camp that is put on by our community partner non-profit, House of Everyday Learning.  Nature-based OT is her passion; as she sees the amazing benefits that nature can provide your child.  Another area that she loves is aquatic therapy. 

Katie has many years of experience with emotional regulation, behavior and hippotherapy! Her time out at the NDSU Equine Center fills her bucket because helping kids reach their goals through the unique modality of equine-assisted therapy is especially important to her. Whether it be big or small, Katie loves making a difference in her clients’ lives.

Empowering children and their families to overcome obstacles and provide them with tools to succeed in their daily challenges is something that Sam strives for daily.  Sam likes to bestow confidence in her client’s abilities and involve their families whenever possible to guide them through ups and downs.  Using gentle humor and playfulness, Sam is a great therapist who can nudge her clients into trying new things and perform their best.  Sam is trained in pediatric incontinence therapy, and is also one of the facilitators for a House of Everyday Learning camp, “Social Connections”!
