Stephanie Meyn – Pediatric Occupational Therapist in Cortland, IL
Helping Kids Thrive with Occupational Therapy
Hi, I’m Stephanie Meyn
I’m a pediatric Occupational Therapist with experience supporting children ages 3 to 17 with autism, ADHD, developmental delays, and other challenges that impact everyday activities. I meet each child where they are and provide practical, individualized support to help them build skills, confidence, and independence.
Why I love what I do:
I love getting to know each child and family, understanding what matters most to them, and celebrating the progress that builds confidence.
Why I’m passionate about in-home care:
I’m excited to bring in-home therapy to our area because it offers families a convenient option while allowing me to make therapy practical and meaningful within a child’s everyday routines.
What does an Occupational Therapist Do?
Occupational therapists support children in building everyday skills—so they can grow, play, and be more independent. If your child struggles with things like getting dressed, using utensils, paying attention, or staying calm in new situations, an OT can help.
OTs focus on:
• Fine motor skills – like holding a pencil, buttoning a shirt, or using scissors
• Sensory processing – supporting kids who are extra sensitive to sounds, textures, or movement (or don’t seem to notice them at all)
• Emotional regulation – helping kids manage big feelings and focus at school or home
• Independence and daily skills – like brushing teeth, tying shoes, potty training, or washing hands.
Occupational therapy supports kids at home, at school, and in everyday life—so they can feel confident and capable in the things they do every day.

How my practice is special
Creative, Child-Led Therapy
I bring creativity into therapy by getting down to a child’s level, learning what they enjoy, and turning therapeutic activities into something they genuinely want to participate in.
Engaging, Personalized Approach
I use each child’s interests and creativity to increase engagement, motivation, and success during therapy.
Practical, Organized Home Support
I use the home environment to identify routines, organization strategies, and simple changes that can make everyday life easier and more successful for the child and family.
