“The world needs all kinds of minds.” — Dr. Temple Grandin
Alex Zuck, OTD, OTR/L
I am a Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD, OTR/L) with expertise in pediatric occupational therapy, inclusive education, and mental health. My clinical background spans school-based and outpatient pediatrics, geropsychiatric care, and homelessness, with a passion for bridging the gap between occupational therapy, public health, and education to support children’s participation and well-being.
Currently, I work as a school-based occupational therapist at Los Angeles Unified School District, advocating for functional participation and inclusion in learning environments. I am also the Founder of NeuroJoy Therapy, an occupational therapy practice specializing in supporting neurodivergent children and their families.

My healthcare background.
Over the last seven years, I have worked across diverse healthcare settings, refining my approach to trauma-informed care, social determinants of health, and functional independence across the lifespan. My mission is to create meaningful, accessible, and inclusive interventions that strengthen communities and enhance well-being. Driven by curiosity and a problem-solving mindset, I thrive in roles that allow me to connect, educate, and innovate—whether through direct clinical work, parent education, or systems-level advocacy. As I launch NeuroJoy, I am excited about developing resources, building community partnerships, and empowering families navigating neurodivergence.
If you're passionate about occupational therapy, inclusive education, or neurodivergent advocacy, I’d love to connect and collaborate!
