OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST

Hi there, I’m Ms. Bri! I am a licensed and board-certified Occupational Therapist in the state of Pennsylvania and a graduate from Misericordia University as a Doctor of Occupational Therapy. I also hold a Master of Science in Occupational Therapy degree and a Bachelor in Health Sciences degree. My entire career has centered around pediatrics with experience in multiple settings including early intervention, school-based and outpatient. I focus on being neurodiversity affirming and utilize multi-sensory and play-based approaches to help ensure that your child enjoys therapy! I also specialize in feeding therapy- for both picky eating and the oral motor aspects of eating. As someone who had their own (significant) feeding difficulties growing up, I not only understand feeding from a therapy perspective, but from a child’s viewpoint as well.

Aside from feeding, I have extensive experience working with children who have a variety of diagnoses including developmental delay, genetic disorders, cerebral palsy, visual motor/perceptual issues, blindness, deaf or hard of hearing, traumatic brain injury, language-based learning disabilities, ADD/ADHD, sensory processing disorder, autism spectrum disorder, dysgraphia, amputations, oral motor difficulties and musculoskeletal disorders.

Fun facts: Outside of work, you can find me at a bowling alley, baking or at home with my husband, son and cat. I am a USBC certified youth bowling coach and have been for over 10 years. Surprise, I am also the owner of True To You Therapy!

SPEECH-LANGUAGE PATHOLOGIST

Hi! My name is Karleigh Lukasik, M.S., CCC-SLP, a NEPA native speech-language pathologist serving our local community. I completed my undergraduate career in Communication Sciences and Disorders with a minor in Human Development and Family Studies at The Pennsylvania State University, and continued my education at East Stroudsburg University to complete my Master’s degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders.

I began my SLP journey in an outpatient clinic, where I provided services to a range of ages including birth through geriatrics. Since my starting point, I have also worked as an Early Interventionist in Wayne, Pike, and Luzerne counties, as well as our PA school system. From working within multiple settings, I have treated a variety of communication, voice, and swallow disorders, including special populations such as Autism, developmental disabilities, and Parkinson’s.

I love what I do and I understand the impact communication skills have on a person, not only as a clinician, but as a family member to those with developmental delays and disabilities. Im happy to help those within our community reach their fullest potential!!
