THE TEAM
ELIZABETH DEPONTO MS, OTR/L - FOUNDER
You can call me Liz. I grew up in New York City and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in psychology and dance from Adelphi University. I later received my Master of Science degree in Occupational Therapy from Columbia University.
I have worked as a pediatric OT in school and home settings since 2008. Through these experiences, I have worked closely with many families and have learned the power of collaboration. My goal is always to foster independence in the children I work with and to empower parents/caregivers to be active members in their child’s therapeutic process.
My passion for educating has grown stronger through various experiences. As an adjunct professor at Long Island University for 7 years, I gained invaluable experience in educating about sensory processing, behavioral techniques, and the therapeutic process. Educating others has reinvigorated me and allowed me to share my passion for OT in a truly meaningful way.
Some of my most profound work has been with a non-profit organization to provide sustainable therapy and design training materials for children with disabilities and their caregivers in developing countries. I have also gained a wealth of cultural competence through these experiences that continues to drive my professional practice.
AMANDA PEREZ OTD, OTR/L
Hi, I’m Amanda! I was born and raised in Cornwall, NY, but have lived in Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana and even abroad in Palau. I have 3+ years of pediatric experience working in early intervention, preschools and with school aged children. I have experience working with a variety of diagnoses to address fine motor skills, visual motor skills, gross motor skills, self-care skills, feeding, sensory processing, and emotional regulation. I also hold my SOS Approach to Feeding certification. I love fostering confidence and attainment of new skills in a child-led, fun, and supportive environment. I enjoy taking your child’s interests and strengths and helping them grow through play.
In my free time I enjoy playing my flute, violin, and ukulele, doing arts and crafts, and getting a good workout in at Orangetheory. I look forward to coming alongside your child and your family in their journey at Sensory Wise.
MOLLYANNE VIZIOLI MS, OTR/L
Hi I’m Molly! I have been a practicing Pediatric Occupational Therapist for 5+ years serving Early Intervention and School Age kiddos throughout Westchester NY. I have additional experience in both Neuro rehabilitation, Robotics, and animal assisted therapies such as Hippotherapy. I have clinical training treating a diverse population of children, including medically complex, physical, neurological, developmental and sensory conditions. I believe every child has the potential for growth regardless of their condition. I have a passion for people, nature and animals. Outside of the clinic, I enjoy gardening, antiquing and spending time with my family including Therapy Dog-in training Caddie! I am grateful for the opportunity to share my dedication for our youngest community members through empathy, compassion and play.
Megan Burns, OTD, OTR/L, ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT
Hi, I'm Megan! I am an occupational therapist and earned my Doctorate in Occupational Therapy from East Tennessee State University in 2025.

In my administrative role, I love bringing organization, communication, and attention to detail together to support our families and team. I look forward to supporting families throughout their journey and helping them feel welcomed, informed, and connected every step of the way. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, traveling, and doing yoga!
