Hi, my name is Kellie Sartain and I have been a COTA for over 10 years. I currently reside in the small town of Bellville, TX where the hill country starts. I have had a love for pediatrics for years and one of the things that I enjoy the most is the relationships that come with the territory. Being a part of a positive change in a child's life and seeing the growth and progress is irreplaceable. It is what drives me. I have six children of my own and bring a wide variety of skill set not only through theory-based knowledge, but also through life experiences with my own children. Feeding therapy in particular has become a passion of mine. There is nothing like seeing a patient take that first bite of food-it never gets old!
