“Through our market research, we found that there are so many families on wait lists for clinics in the valley,” Khatri said. “The demand is more, and the schools in Morgan Hill and Hollister need this as well.”

Shah, who has been Khatri’s biggest supporter in her effort to open OT Park, said, “There is no place like this in the Bay Area. You cannot find a place that meets all the sensory needs of special needs kids. For them, it’s a fun place to play but we are actually treating them. She is so passionate about treating these special needs kids and making them independent—that is what drove this ambition.”

Another advantage of the Morgan Hill location is the Magical Bridge playground at the Community Park. The park is designed for people of all ages with special needs, and Khatri plans to incorporate visits to Magical Bridge for her clients.

Khatri grew up in India, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in Occupational Therapy. During her college studies, she visited a clinic where she observed a mentor working with a child and was inspired by “tiny victories” the young patient made through various exercises.

Khatri moved to the U.S. in 2013, where she continued her education. She received her doctorate of occupational therapy from the University of St. Augustine, and earned a number of certifications in occupational therapy.

She is also active as an expert and advisor in her field. She teaches occupational therapy at San Jose State University, and serves in leadership roles with the Occupational Therapy Association of California and the Asian Pacific Heritage Occupational Therapy Association. She is also an ambassador for the American Occupational Therapy Association’s political action committee.

After working as a therapist at a private practice in San Jose for several years, Khatri was let go shortly after the Covid-19 pandemic began to take its toll on the healthcare industry by limiting office visits and direct contact with patients.

Over the last two years, Khatri has been treating families remotely.

This includes a home-based “OT Park box” service in which families are provided a monthly kit with an activity guide and various equipment and toys that are designed for children of different ages to reach progressive sensory and motor skills milestones.

Khatri stressed that “occupational therapy is different for everybody,” and she enjoys the variety of being able to tailor individual treatment plans based on a patient’s specific needs, interests and progress.

“I am designing activities to help them thrive every day,” Khatri said. “We have to keep thinking about the various treatment procedures and bring the best results every time.”
