Cindy Freedman

Cindy is both a recreational therapist and an occupational therapist (OT). After working for ten years as a recreational therapist in a variety of settings, she pursued a Master’s degree in OT. Her career as an OT includes specialty training in sensory integration, reflex repatterning, and aquatics. She is currently certified as an Autism Specialist by IBCCES. As a swimmer and national champion diver, her love of the water, combined with her education and work experience, created the opportunity for Swim Angelfish to become a reality! ‘Our mission is to create an aquatic community of trained instructors so that, together, we can reduce the alarming statistic of drowning being the leading cause of death for children with special needs.”
