Welcome to Jennifer Loughlin, OTD, OTR/L
Where development meets daily life
Hi! I'm Jenn - a pediatric occupational therapist, mom of two, writer, and the mind behind Loughlin Pediatric OT and Growing in Play. Whether I’m working one-on-one with children or equipping parents and professionals with real-world strategies, I believe in one core truth:
Play is the work of childhood - and connection is the heart of it.
This space is a bridge between my hands-on clinical work and my educational resources for families, educators, and caregivers. If you're looking for evidence-based support that’s also practical, funny, and deeply human - you’re in the right place.
For Families in Need of Occupational Therapy
Loughlin Pediatric OT is a mobile private practice serving children and their families through individualized, play-based therapy. I support kids with sensory processing differences, motor delays, medical complexities and more — in the settings that matter most: their homes, schools, and communities.
Serving families in northern New Jersey

For Parents & Professionals Looking to Learn
Growing in Play is your go-to hub for honest parenting insights, playful development tips, and OT-informed resources. Through my newsletter, and growing library of printables, and digital products, I help adults understand what’s actually going on beneath the behaviors - and what to do about it.
