About Janet Marie Toney
Janet Marie Toney, BS, OTR/L
Janet attended the Medical College of Virginia at Virginia Commonwealth University where she received a bachelor of science degree in occupational therapy in 1998. After several years working with adults in an out-patient rehabilitation hospital, she transitioned to school-based occupational therapy. Through this experience she realized that pediatric therapy is where she wanted to remain.
Although raised in the southeast, and a Southerner by heart, Janet moved to Arizona in 2005. It was in Tucson that she began her training as a feeding therapist with Marsha Dunn Klein and fostering feeding development through the “Get Permission” approach. Janet has completed a number of postgraduate courses and seminars in pediatric feeding. Feeding therapy is ideal for Janet, blending her skills as an occupational therapist with her love of food and cooking and interest in health and nutrition. Janet greatly enjoys helping the children with whom we work enjoy different food experiences, discover the joys of cooking and learn to participate in family mealtime routines.
Beyond her therapy work in Tucson, Janet is a traveler. She has especially enjoyed volunteering and is beginning to study pediatric services and therapies in Southeast Asia and Eastern Africa. It is her goal is to use her skills as a Feeding Occupational Therapist in other countries where children are in desperate need of skilled support and love.
