Matt Schwendeman, OTR/L

I am an occupational therapist (OT) and coordinator at the College Hill Campus behavioral health treatment center. Building trust and understanding the needs of others is critical to successful outcomes in my line of work.

I have served the pediatric special needs population for as long as I can remember—from volunteer experiences as an adolescent to my current role as a coordinator. I'm motivated to positively impact those around me. I feel called to serve and am grateful for the opportunities provided at Cincinnati Children's.

My primary goal is to relate to people regardless of their background. Building rapport and partnerships to help people reach their individual goals gives me a great deal of satisfaction.

When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, being outside and engaging in sporting activities. My favorite sports are baseball, basketball, football and volleyball.
