Meet Your Pediatric Occupational Therapist

Welcome to Little Fox Therapy Collective! With over a decade of experience as a pediatric occupational therapist, I've had the privilege of working with children and families across a variety of settings, including UVA Hospital, the Virginia Institute of Autism, public schools, and sensory-focused clinics. My professional background also includes elementary and special education, providing a well-rounded perspective on child development, learning, and collaboration with caregivers.

As both an occupational therapist and a mother, I understand that every family's journey looks different. Some days bring exciting milestones, while others bring questions or uncertainty. Through expertise in sensory development, feeding, motor skills, and caregiver coaching, I provide individualized, evidence-based recommendations that fit naturally into your family's routines.

Whether you're introducing solids, navigating picky eating, exploring your child's sensory needs, or supporting developmental milestones, my goal is to help you move forward with greater clarity and peace of mind. Together, we'll create realistic, meaningful solutions that build on your child's strengths and enhance participation in daily activities.

I believe parents are the experts on their children. My role is to provide the knowledge, guidance, and practical strategies that help you feel confident supporting your child's growth, participation, and success. Every child follows their own developmental path, and I'm honored to partner with your family as you help your little fox flourish.

Warmly,

Ashley Yost MS, OTR/L
