Dear Parents/Guardians,

Hello, my name is Jodi Gardner and I am the OT here at MFA!  I absolutely love working as a team to best support your child in the best possible way!  I would like to share a little bit about myself.  I graduated from Quinnipiac University in 2000 with a degree in Occupational Therapy.  I have been working in the field of Pediatrics for 23 years.  I have worked as a school-based therapist as well as in out-patient.  I have had the pleasure of working with children ages birth to 18 of various talents and abilities!  In 2021, I became a certified Autism Specialist. Additionally, I have extensive training and experience in the area of sensory processing disorder. 

On a personal level, I live close to the beach with my husband and our two sons.  We love to swim in the ocean and ride bikes.  We have a dog, named Rosie.  She warms our hearts and makes us smile everyday! 

I look forward to a wonderful school year! My goal is to help your children maximize their academic and functional potential in a fun and creative way! If you have any questions, please email me at jgardner@tfschools.org  Thank you!
