Alyse Mastrodonato

 Alyse is a licensed & Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant. She graduated from McHenry County College and lives in Antioch with her husband, their two kids & pup. Thankful to be a part of the Therapeutic Links team who focuses on collaboration and continuing education, Alyse is enthusiastic to further her education in MNRI (2 classes down, much more to learn), Sensory Integration and mental health in order to assist her clients to become the most functional versions of themselves. Alyse has had a desire to work with pediatrics since she learned of OT from a family member receiving services and then her fieldwork rotation working alongside pre-K students. Her dedication has been further impacted in the interest of those with disabilities and developmental delays because of her son, who was born with Down syndrome. Personal understanding of the value of a therapist to look at the whole child, including parent education and the teamwork it takes for a child to thrive, she hopes to be that and more for every one of her clients. Alyse looks forward to the amazing kiddos she will work with and is excited for all she will learn from them.
