Rachel Czar is an occupational therapist at The Carruth Center. She holds both a BS and MS from the University of Texas Health Science Center and is Sensory Integration Praxis Test (SIPT) Certified. Prior to joining The Carruth Center, Rachel worked as a lead in a DIRFloortime® preschool group in Dallas. She also has experience working with children in outpatient clinics, as well as in their home and school settings. Rachel is passionate about helping children with autism and sensory processing disorder. She is experienced helping children with feeding issues and has Handwriting Without Tears® training.

Rachel believes that a child’s occupation is to play. “I enjoy helping them in a fun and playful way to carry out their occupational roles of a student, family member and most importantly, a play mate,” she says. “My goal is that the children I work with believe they are playing and do not realize they are also working hard in therapy.”

In her free time, Rachel enjoys being a mom to her two sons, going to movies and concerts and spending time with her family.
