About
Ms. Mary Jo Smayra is a compassionate and dedicated paediatric occupational therapist with three years of experience in both clinical and NGO settings. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Occupational Therapy from Saint Joseph University in Lebanon and has worked extensively in schools, private clinics, and rehabilitation centres, providing specialised therapy for children with diverse needs.
Throughout her career, Mary Jo has supported children facing a range of developmental challenges, including cerebral palsy, ASD, ADHD, Down syndrome, learning difficulties, and sensory processing disorders. She is skilled in conducting standardised assessments and developing tailored intervention plans to help children improve their fine and gross motor skills, cognitive functions, visual and sensory processing, social skills, handwriting, and daily living activities such as dressing, using cutlery, and managing school materials.
Mary Jo is known for her child-centred approach, combining clinical expertise with genuine compassion. She believes that effective therapy goes beyond structured sessions—it involves building trust, empowering children, and guiding families through every step of development. Fluent in English, Arabic, and French, she works collaboratively with parents, educators, and other therapists to create supportive environments where children can thrive. A firm believer in continuous learning, Mary Jo has pursued advanced training in areas such as ADOS-2, CO-OP, the Snoezelen Approach, assistive products, and functional analysis of behaviour, and she is also a recognised handwriting specialist. As a member of the World Federation of Occupational Therapists, her mission is to help patients develop confidence, achieve independence, and reach their full potential through inclusive, evidence-based interventions.
