Welcome! Let’s Embark on a Journey to Bridge the Needs of Children, Families & Healthcare Professionals
Welcome to Child Inspired’s Blog!
Child InspiredTM has embarked on a journey to bridge the needs of children, families and healthcare professionals in order to reduce anxiety and improve the healthcare experience of children facing medical challenges.
Whatever role you may have with children at home or working in pediatric healthcare, there must be a child that has inspired you! Maybe you are a parent to a child with a developmental delay, a teacher working with children with autism, or a Child Life Specialist, Nurse or Therapist working with children with complex medical conditions.
These amazing children inspire us in countless ways…
♥ Inspiring us to find strength & bravery that we didn’t even know we possessed…
♥ Inspiring us to deepen our compassion, empathy, love, and understanding of their needs…
♥ Inspiring us to tirelessly search for the best possible care, innovation and therapeutic treatments available.
My name is Christina Connors, and as an Occupational Therapist that has worked in healthcare and educational settings over the last 15 years, and a mother of two amazing kiddos (one that experienced a life-threatening childhood hospitalization), I uniquely understand the needs of children, families and healthcare professionals.
