THE DANCING OT

Who is Bri the Dancing OT?

Hello! My name is Brianna Osbourn, and I am an occupational therapist and post professional occupational therapy doctoral candidate at New York University. The development of Bri the Dancing OT is part of my doctoral work to bring the worlds of occupational therapy and dance together in order to provide effective, meaningful, and highly enjoyable treatment sessions to individuals with cerebral palsy. With over a decade's experience training in ballroom and latin dance, I have seen the variety of benefits dance has as it is motivating and both physically and mentally challenging.
