I'm Jodi Dietz, OTR, and I joined Monkey Mouths in 2023. I earned my bachelor's and master's degrees from New York University. Before joining the Monkey Mouths team, I worked in educational, home, and hospital settings. For the past 20 years, I owned a pediatric private practice.

My philosophy as a therapist is to treat the whole child including motor skills and sensory processing. I believe an essential part of treatment is working as a team with parents, caregivers, and other professionals to maximize a child's success. It takes a village and I am grateful to be a part of that village!

In my free time, I enjoy activities that fee my mind, body, and soul. I love being in the outdoors, hiking, taking exercise classes, cooking, and traveling, Most importantly, I love spending time with my family.

As an OTR since 1992, I have training and specialization in the following:
