Biography

Liz Fisher, DT is a skilled Developmental Therapist at M Street Pediatric Therapy.

Prior to M Street, Liz spent time working as a teacher at a therapeutic day school for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, as a substitute teacher at an elementary school, and as a homeschool teacher for preschool-aged children. Liz also spent time as a nanny for medically complex children under the age of 2.

Liz believes the first 3 years of a child's life are the most extraordinary to watch and be a part of. Because each interaction and play experience teaches the child something new, each day brings a new development, a new joy, a new hard, and a new possibility. Liz especially loves to view things from several sides to come alongside families to support the development of their precious little ones through music, play, books, sensory activities, games, and fun in a way that honors their needs.
