About Stride OT
Practical Support. Lasting Change.
Stride OT is a boutique practice founded by Lena Grodin MEd, MS, OTR/L, a pediatric occupational therapist and former classroom educator with more than 20 years of experience supporting students, young adults, families, and schools. I take a strengths-based, individualized approach to help young people build the skills they need to participate more fully in school, life, and the world around them.
"Lena is a talented and experienced Occupational Therapist and executive function coach who is a lifesaver for exhausted parents and their children. She takes the time to really hear your child's individual needs and challenges to design systems that set up long term success. I was most impressed when Lena collaborated with my son's teachers to help set up classroom supports. She did so in a way that was thoughtful and tactful. Her experience in the school system has also made her a helpful guide as we navigate advocacy for our son. We are so grateful that we get to work with Lena."

"Lena brings a unique combination of compassion, practical experience, knowledge of neurodiversity, and a keen ability to see what is needed to help each kid/teen succeed, utilizing their unique strengths and helping them overcome challenges. She is a phenomenal OT but perhaps more importantly, she is a caring and competent professional. I have no doubt that anyone who uses her services will see the benefits of her approach and will also greatly enjoy working with her! "
