Crystal Turner

My name is Crystal Turner, and the kiddos affectionately call me Mrs. Crystal. I've been a registered occupational therapist (OT) for over 20 years. My goal is to coach parents, caregivers, and educators in making functional gains in life skills when guiding children and young adults in the ADHD, neurodiverse, gifted and talented (GT), and autistic communities.

I've worked in various settings throughout my career. I started in an inpatient rehab hospital and assisted in their Vision Therapy clinic. Subsequently, I transitioned into management for a few years. For the past 14 years, I've focused on what I love most—pediatrics! After working in both outpatient and home health pediatric settings, I began splitting my time between a part-time role at an ABA clinic and a part-time role in a school-based setting. Additionally, I conduct teacher and parent trainings on how OT can provide support in the areas of executive functioning, ADHD, Autism, GT, twice exceptionality, and neurodivergence.

I currently serve on the Board for StandUpLD, a nonprofit support network for parents and educators seeking resources to support and empower children with learning differences.
