What exactly is a
Brain Executive?
The term “Brain Executive” was created by author and therapist, Kathryn Hamlin-Pacheco, OTR/L, when developing the Brain Executive Program. This program is targeted to educate kids and their families about sensory health and wellness, empowering them with the ability to understand how the brain works to shape everyday life and to use this knowledge to increase success and engagement.
Katie was an elementary and middle school teacher prior to becoming an occupational therapist, and she uses this background to bring the complex information to life in fun and engaging language. The concept of being a “Brain Executive” or someone who understands and manages their brain, much like a chief executive of a company understands and manages the business, offers young readers the ability to understand how they can be the expert on their own sensory health and use strategies to “help their brain work at its best.”
