Meet The Team

Ms. Ali, OTD, OTR/L

Occupational Therapist

Woodridge Location

Ali is passionate about supporting children and their families through a holistic, client- and family-centered approach. She is dedicated to creating goals and interventions that truly fit each family’s daily life, recognizing that every child’s needs are unique.

Her favorite part of being an occupational therapist is that interventions often center around play! She loves incorporating a child’s interests and natural curiosity into sessions, using play as a powerful tool for growth and engagement. Watching a child light up as they make new connections is one of the most rewarding parts of being an OT for her.

Ali has experience supporting children with ASD, ADHD, and social-emotional challenges. She is eager to continue expanding her expertise, particularly in working with children with neurological conditions.

Ali earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Kinesiology and Sports Studies from Eastern Illinois University and her Doctorate Degree in Occupational Therapy from Rush University.

Outside of work, she loves going for walks around the neighborhood with her husband, spending time with my family, especially her two adorable nieces, relaxing on the couch, binging her favorite TV shows, and listening to different podcasts!

Her favorite quote is, “To live a full life, we must make time for play!” – Unknown
