Look at the Person with Amy and Evelyn Guttmann

Author: Rivky Itzkowitz: Founder at Impact Fashion July 7, 2025 Duration: 1:02:53

Rivky sits down with occupational therapists Amy and Evelyn Guttmann to talk about child development. Amy and Evelyn teach about the 3 senses you've never heard of, their feelings on labeling and disorders, why OT is not just about handwriting, and what it really means when someone is sensory.

Amy and Evelyn Guttmann, OTR/L, neurodevelopmental pediatric occupational therapist, has been treating families and children with over 40 years of experience between them. Better known as the "Guttmann Sisters", their focus has been on educating and empowering the community on the prevention of anxiety and social-emotional delays. Graduates of SUNY Health Science Center of New York, Amy and Evelyn currently run Hands on OT Rehab, a private practice focused on treating children with anxiety and processing delays, as well as a practice focused on training and educating therapists, pediatricians, educators, and parents. They have evaluated over 12,000 children and have been guest lecturers in some of the most prominent universities around the world. Founders of Hands on Approaches and the non-profit, the H.O.P.E. (Hands on Parent Empowerment) Foundation, their specialties include Sensory Integration, NDT training, reflex integration, auditory processing specialization, and behavioral management. They are the authors of internationally recognized articles on screen time and anxiety in children and are currently conducting research on sensory processing disorder and anxiety diagnosis.
