Dr. Meghan Schneider, OTD, OTR/L specializes in helping children, teens, and adults with neurological conditions make real progress — especially those who've been told “this is as good as it gets” or whose struggles were never fully understood.
She believes in treating every individual as the unique person they are. Through her own experience with concussion, she understands firsthand what it means to work toward feeling like yourself again — and she brings that empathy to every patient, parent, and professional she works with.
Meghan has a particular passion for educating others, leading them through the healing process as they recover from concussion or navigate the complex world of interoception. She has had the privilege of presenting alongside Kelly Mahler, developer of the Interoception Curriculum, and co-published with her an interoception curriculum for individuals with concussion.
Today she practices as a senior occupational therapist and head pediatric therapist, serves as an adjunct professor of occupational therapy at Elizabethtown College and Moravian University, and co-owns NeurOT Consulting, where she trains rehabilitation teams in concussion care, vision rehabilitation, interoception, and body-brain dynamics.
From optometrist-directed vision rehabilitation to playful, family-centered pediatric therapy — Meghan's clinical work at A Rise Above Occupational Therapy Services keeps her teaching and research grounded in real practice.
