Occupational Therapists

Romain Jensen OTR/L, Director

     Romain is the founder and director of The Center for Pediatric Therapy (CPT). Prior to opening the Center in 2000, she worked in various aspects of Early Intervention (birth to 3, BCIU) where she provided direct treatment, was a part of evaluation teams and worked within the school system. Romain’s passion for understanding, treating and educating others on concepts of sensory integration and processing issues grew out of personal experiences. This passion eventually fueled her dream of opening a private practice dedicated to supporting children and their families. The Center for Pediatric Therapy started in a 2 room basement rental. Plans for being a part-time solo OT practitioner while raising her children blossomed into the multi discipline practice it is today. In 2003, the practice moved to its current location where it is now “bursting at the seams”.

     Romain began her OT career as a certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA). She later received a Bachelors Degree in Occupational therapy from Utica College of Syracuse University in New York. She has completed the SIPT (Sensory Integration and Praxis Testing) certification and a multitude of other continuing education programs in the pediatric field.

     In addition to providing evaluation, consultation, and treatment for children at the CPT, Romain currently provides evaluation and consultative services for adults with autism who reside in group home settings in the community. The emphasis is on identifying the sensory aspects of various behavioral issues and working with the team to develop strategies to reduce challenging behaviors and increase independence with daily living skills.

     Romain also currently serves on the Occupational Therapy Advisory Boards at Alvernia University and Penn State Berks. She has previously served as adjunct faculty at Penn State Berks and has been a guest lecturer in both programs. In addition, Romain has served as the District 1 Delegate for the Pennsylvania Occupational Therapy Association (POTA).

     Romain is Co-founder of Collaborative Learning Solutions (CLS), a network of professionals in the field of functional vision and brain-based training. CLS provides free educational seminars to local parents and professionals. She also presents various educational programs on a local and state level including the Fragile X conference, State autism conference, Better Kid Care program, etc. Romain continues to be very active in sharing her passion for children and teaching others about “what makes them tick” and strategies to “make life easier”.
