Stephanie Foster

I am honored to be your guide on this journey to help your child. After 30-plus years of practicing as an occupational therapist (OT) both in private and school-based settings, my passion is assisting families in understanding their child’s sensory needs. I work with families to help figure out why kids are unable to self-regulate and how to manage meltdowns and other disruptive behaviors. I firmly believe in occupational therapy’s non-pharmacological approach to assisting children in thriving in their true occupations of living, learning, and playing.

On Saturday, October 29, 2022, Dr. Stephanie Foster and graduate student Jessica Carranza presented at the annual OTAC conference on the condition alexithymia.

Congratulations to Dr. Stephanie Foster and her graduate student, Jessica Carranza! Together, this team of two presented at the Occupational Therapy Association of California (OTAC) conference on Saturday, October 29, 2022, in Santa Clara, California. Their presentation to an audience of over seventy-five occupational therapists was titled “Alexithymia: Tell Me How You Feel”. Midway through the presentation, the group sang “The Zones of Regulation”.

If you are interested in learning more about the Zones of Regulation, a link to the song can be found here on YouTube. Try it out! It is a really fun way to learn about and understand emotions.

Alexithymia is a condition that makes understanding and expressing emotions difficult. People with autism spectrum disorders have a 50% chance of having this condition.
