Occupational Therapist | School-Based Practice Mentor | Professional Development Educator

I'm so glad you're here! If you've ever found yourself questioning your role in the school setting, wondering if your services are truly making a difference, or trying to figure out how to apply your OT expertise in an educational environment, you're in the right place.

A little about my journey:

  • I earned my Master of Occupational Therapy (MOT) degree from Pacific University in 2013.

  • I transitioned from clinics to schools in 2017 (and quickly realized there was a lot to learn about working in an educational environment!)

  • In 2022, I became an Executive Functions Consultant through Sensational Brain, further expanding my understanding of how to support students' participation and success in school.

Even with my training and experience, I was not prepared for the realities of school-based therapy.

Navigating an educational model instead of a medical one, managing a large caseload across multiple campuses, and trying to explain my role (which, honestly, I didn't fully understand myself) felt overwhelming.

I started hearing the same concerns from other school-based practitioners:

 

“I know ____ would be best practice, but”...
→ There’s no support.
→ No one understands what I do.
→ I can barely keep up. 


Instead of believing that uncertainty was just part of the job, I dove into the literature, brushed up on educational policy, and focused on building collaborative connections within my teams.

As I strengthened my understanding of school-based practice, my practice became more effective – and honestly, more enjoyable.

I found that I was able to: 

→ Target skills that were truly educationally relevant

→ Support carryover across school environments

→ Create more intentional and flexible service delivery

→ Build stronger rapport with students, teachers, and team members

I want that for you, too. 

Over the years, I’ve spoken with many school-based OT practitioners who feel just as I did when I started – eager to make an impact, but unsure where to begin.
 

That's exactly why I created Jennifer Huff LLC – to provide school-based practitioners like you with the tools, guidance, and support needed to bridge the gap between your expertise and the realities of the school environment.

Through mentorship, professional development, and practical resources, my goal is to help you better understand your role, make intentional decisions, and confidently support students in ways that are meaningful and sustainable.

Because when you have the right framework and support, you can extend your reach, increase your impact, and create a more sustainable and fulfilling school-based practice.
