About Claudia Cirrincione, OTD, OTR/L

Meet Claudia!

I am a pediatric occupational therapist and founder of Unbounded Potential LLC. My passion for working with families comes from my own experience raising four kids. As a mom, I know firsthand how important it is to have the right support when your child needs help. Using my OT background, I was able to navigate the health system to get the appropriate and necessary care for health and medical challenges.

Now, I dedicated my career to empowering children and their families to live life with meaning, purpose, and autonomy. My focus on family-centered care inspired my doctoral work on family routines, which deepened my understanding of how everyday moments shape development and well-being. In 2016, I earned my post-professional doctorate, further advancing my knowledge of effective interventions to support children in achieving their fullest potential. Whether working with families in schools, homes, or clinics, my focus remains on creating collaborative, practical strategies that align with each family’s unique needs and goals. I’m committed to partnering with families like yours because I believe that every child has the potential to thrive, and I’m here to help you navigate that journey with personalized, family-centered care.
