You and I both know what our good days look like, and what our bad days look like in First Steps. The bad days are inevitable - but they are so much worse when we're alone. Let's change that.
Join the mission for excellence in Missouri early intervention.
Whether you’re an early intervention provider looking for community, or a Missouri-based provider interested in working for Missouri First Steps, Hello Joy OT is made for you, friend.
Early intervention is as much a vocation as it is a career. As providers, we believe in the dignity of every child, and we have dedicated our life’s work to helping children and families.
Hello Joy OT is designed to serve early intervention providers, because you deserve to be valued, prioritized, and invested in, so you can keep showing up. Because who are we kidding? We show up differently when we feel like what we're doing matters, is valued, and can make a difference.
I'm Katie, your all-too-real EI mentor + friend.
I'm an OT, mom, and EI therapist - I've worked with children and families for over 20 years, and I love, love, love sharing what I know and supporting providers. I'm so glad you're here.
hey there!
The Hello Joy OT Fellowship for early intervention providers is coming this Fall 2026! Join the waitlist now to get the deets!
Ready to be part of something amazing?
A group of people who like each other, support each other, and learn from each other are far better than one person with all the knowledge in the world. Let's not do this alone.
