Pauline Mohs - Pediatric Occupational Therapist in Andover, MA
Helping Kids Thrive with Occupational Therapy
Hi, I'm Pauline!
a passionate and energetic Occupational Therapist with 14 years of experience in both the pediatric and adult inpatient and outpatient world. I have a passion for play, having fun, and helping families and children in need. I have both an MA and NH license as well as my certification in Neuro-developmental Treatment (NDT) with a speciality in pediatric Cerebral Palsy.
Why I love what I do:
I love the versatility of working not only with children, but their families and caregivers. I love thinking on the fly, being creative, and seeing joy on children's faces in our sessions. Experiencing parents and caregivers feel deep pride and joy when their children succeed is one of my favorite things about the work I do.
Why I’m passionate about in-home care:
Consistency, reality, and carryover is KEY! I love to help bridge progress into function. Focusing on the achievable and making changes that fit needs of families in their homes is my specialty.
What does a Occupational Therapist Do?
Occupational therapists support children in building everyday skills—so they can grow, play, and be more independent. If your child struggles with things like getting dressed, using utensils, paying attention, or staying calm in new situations, an OT can help. OTs focus on:
- Fine motor skills – like holding a pencil, buttoning a shirt, or using scissors
- Sensory processing – supporting kids who are extra sensitive to sounds, textures, or movement (or don’t seem to notice them at all)
- Emotional regulation – helping kids manage big feelings and focus at school or home
- Independence and daily skills – like brushing teeth, tying shoes, potty training, or washing hands
Occupational therapy supports kids at home, at school, and in everyday life—so they can feel confident and capable in the things they do every day.

How my practice is special
Perspective as Both Provider and Client
I don't just have the professional skillset and experience of being a provider, I also have personal experience being a family member/client/recipient of these services; I understand treatment from both sides!
Continued Progress is My Goal
I've had the amazing opportunity of working with all ages, from birth to geriatrics, in multiple treatment settings, allowing me to see a continuum of care. I have the ability to lean into a treatment style that allows for continued progress and chaining across a client's life span.
Wide Range of Resources & Experience
I've worked with many different interdisciplinary team members including physical therapists, speech and language therapists, respiratory therapists, teachers, mental health processional, primary care providers, and families.
Client testimonials
For the past 10 years, Pauline has supported our son through every stage of development, from fine motor skills and emotional regulation to feeding therapy. Her patience, adaptability, and expertise have been essential to his growth, and we are deeply grateful for her care and dedication.
For the past two years, Pauline has been an extraordinary force in the lives of my 2 autistic sons, meeting them where they are and helping them grow in ways I never imagined. Her dedication, belief in their potential, and deep connection with our family have made her an irreplaceable part of our support system.
Miss Pauline helped my six-year-old son Ryan overcome challenges with eating, speech, and expressing emotions through trust-building, fun games, and gradual progress. She also empowered me as a parent with new strategies and insights, making a lasting impact on both of our lives.
