Beatrice C. Hector, OTD, OTR/L

Dr. Beatrice Hector is an occupational therapist, and owner of a private pediatric OT practice in Brooklyn, NY (Sensory Street Pediatric Occupational Therapy, P.C.). She received her undergraduate OT degree from Howard University in 1993, and doctorate in OT from the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences. Dr. Hector has years of experience working at multiple medical facilities with the adult and pediatric population (NYC hospitals, homecare, early intervention, school base). Born and raised in Brooklyn by Haitian parents, Dr. Hector learned the value of hard work and entrepreneurship at an early age. Dr. Hector is passionate about giving back to communities and dedicates time to increase awareness of how OT helps people live life to the fullest. In 2010, Dr. Hector authored her first children's book (Ooh That's Icky!) and received a citation by the Nassau county Mayor, Andrew Hardwick, for her contribution to the "Literary Community". In 2018 she celebrated her 25th anniversary of practicing OT by visiting Haiti for the first time and volunteered to lecture at Faculté des Sciences de Réhabilitation de Léogâne (FSRL); her father's home town. Her pride and joy are her three children and appreciation of continuous support from her family. She is excited, honored, and enjoys being an active board member of HRF and facilitating its mission.
