MATT EDWARDS, OT

I have been an occupational therapist for just over 20 years and have been in St. George for 18 years.  I have worked with pediatrics my whole career and even when I was in school as I had the opportunity to work with my daughter during school.  She was a great study partner even if she cried with some of the techniques I tried to use.  She was 6 months old when I started my occupational therapy graduate program and tribute a lot of my knowledge and learning from her as well as my family.  I have been happily married for 28 years and have 3 other wonderful boys.  I enjoy working with children and have treated a variety of conditions of the pediatric population over my career.  These diagnoses include: genetic disorders, sensory disorders, motor deficits, autism, cerebral palsy, stroke, metabolic disorders, and other neurological disorders.  For personal interests, I like being outdoors, usually mountain bike riding, playing pickleball, or anything else that calls my name.
