Occupational Therapy:

Welcome to LAUNCH Occupational Therapy (OT)! My name is Bree Dambacher, OTR/L. I am very excited to be your distance learning Occupational Therapist for the 2020-2021 school year.

Educational Background and Experience:

- B.S.: Biological Sciences- University of CA Riverside (UCR)

- M.A.: Occupational Therapy- University of Southern California (USC)

I have been working as an Occupational Therapist in the school setting since 2009. I have previously worked for DMUSD from 2009-2016 and was thrilled to be hired back in 2019 after working as an OT for 3 years in a rural school district on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state. I am so excited to be back in the sunshine and will forever call Del Mar Union and San Diego my home!

I am passionate about working with students with disabilities and I am excited to continue to share my OT position with “Ms. Meeka,” my Canine for Companions Service dog. Meeka is a trained facility dog that has worked by my side for 7 years! This school year, Meeka will be making virtual appearances! I have a passion for sensory integration, assistive technology, and animal assisted therapy. I am excited for a great school year!
