About Pam's Den: Empowering Creativity for All Abilities

I am a seasoned licensed Occupational Therapist with over 40 years of experience. I aim to empower caregivers and support them in providing opportunities for adults with developmental disabilities. Here in Pam's Den of Creative Fun, we can create, enjoy the moment, support each other, and pursue our passions. I am also a twin to an individual with special needs, which has profoundly shaped my understanding and passion for supporting others with diverse abilities. I bring a passion for creativity and a commitment to empowering caregivers along with individuals of all abilities. As a creative liaison, I'm creating a specialized community designed to inspire adapted leisure activities. I thrive on thinking outside the box, embracing uniqueness, and helping others discover the joy in creative expression.

I will create opportunities to serve as a guide for caregivers. The focus is to help adapt creative processes to meet the needs of diverse abilities, and support caregivers in this process - wherever "home" - living with family, long term care, group home is.

Think of me as a "Creative Engagement Specialist"

Come in and explore!

Hi! I’m Pam, the creator of Pam’s Den of Creative Fun. Together, we can enjoy the moment, support each other, and pursue our passions. I have provided services to individuals with developmental disabilities throughout my entire career. My journey began early in life, inspired by my twin who had Cerebral Palsy.
Pam’s Den of Creative Fun is dedicated to empowering adults with developmental disabilities along with their caregivers. We create engaging and accessible art and leisure activities, weaving in multi-sensory experiences to unlock creative potential in individuals of all abilities. Fostering joy, expression, and self-advocacy is at the heart of what we do.
My story is unique, and I want to help you create your own. I aim to empower individuals—caregivers and those with unique needs—to recognize and celebrate our uniqueness. Together, we can enjoy the moment, support each other, and pursue our passions.
Join us on this journey of artistic exploration and leisure pursuits, building a community rooted in inclusivity and fulfillment. With our knowledge and understanding of your needs, let Pam’s Den of Creative Fun support you in engaging in purposeful leisure interests.
