Dr. Laura Mraz discovered the field of Occupational Therapy when teaching preschool in China in 2003. While in Shanghai, she was fortunate to work with a young child with autism and his occupational therapist. The experience had a profound impact and after returning back to the USA, Dr. Laura was determined to become an occupational therapist and make an impact on young children’s lives. In 2007, Dr. Laura established Eyas Landing where they first provided developmental therapy services for children in Early Intervention and have since grown the company to offer a wide range of therapy services that are provided in the clinic, home, school, daycare, and virtually. While working with families across these settings, Laura and her colleagues noticed a need within our community for a comprehensive, multidisciplinary preschool program and established Blue Bird Day in 2014. “It’s been an amazing journey since the moment I knew my calling and I couldn’t be happier that I not only listened but have accomplished exactly what I am meant to do.” Today, Laura serves as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at Eyas Landing and Blue Bird Day, servicing over 450 families each week.
