Britt Schmitt, OTR/L, joins the pediatric occupational therapy team in Ashland and has extensive experience and a patient-centered approach. Britt brings a wealth of knowledge in sensory integration, emotional regulation, and motor skills development to the Ashland location.
Britt recently completed her master’s in occupational therapy from the College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, MN. She is already well-known in the Chequamegon Bay community, having served for over a decade at Recreation and Fitness Resources in Bayfield, culminating as program and aquatic director.
Since 2022, she has also shared her expertise as a martial arts instructor for the City of Ashland Parks and Recreation Department, adapting teaching techniques to support diverse student needs. Most recently, Britt completed her occupational therapy fieldwork at NorthLakes Community Clinic, demonstrating excellence in patient evaluation, intervention planning, and collaborative care.
“My philosophy is patient-centered and family-focused,” says Schmitt. “I believe in working collaboratively with each child, their family, and other healthcare team members to develop a successful treatment plan. I meet children and their families where they are while gaining an understanding of where they want to go.”
Britt’s professional interests include sensory integration, emotional regulation, postural control, balance, coordination, and cognitive functions such as problem-solving and attention. Her approach emphasizes celebrating each child’s successes and building confidence through therapy.
