DHSc, OTR/L
Dr. Aditi Mehra graduated with a Bachelors in Occupational Therapy, from Western Michigan University and pursued her Doctorate in Health Sciences at Midwestern University in Illinois. She has practiced as a pediatric OT for the past 23 yrs in various settings. During her Doctoral Studies, Dr. Mehra also pursued a certification in Behavior Analysis to gain a better understanding of behavioral challenges in OT. Once she delved deeper into this field, Dr. Mehra discovered Fit Learning, an academic program which combines the science of building fluency and charting data to optimize learning. Once she realized the ease and profound effectiveness of this charting system, Dr. Mehra implemented this charting system in her own practice. This soon became her passion and she now offers classes and consultation to other professionals seeking to become more data-driven in their practice. She offers several data-based free resources on her website www.DrAdititheOT.com. Dr. Mehra is the director of 2 Fit learning labs, has served as an Adjunct professor and continues to work in the school setting as a pediatric OT.
