Nicole has been an occupational therapist since 2001 and earned her Master of Occupational Therapy degree from Nova Southeastern University. She began her career working with adults in rehabilitation settings before discovering her true passion: working with children and their families.

As a mother of five through both birth and adoption, and a homeschooling parent since 2010, Nicole has seen firsthand that every child’s journey is unique. These experiences shaped her philosophy and naturally led her to the DIRFloortime® model of care.

In 2020, Nicole founded Skill Point Therapy to create a practice where children are seen as individuals, families feel genuinely supported, and therapists have the time and freedom to build meaningful relationships that foster lasting growth.

Areas of Focus: DIRFloortime® (DIR-Advanced), Autism, sensory processing, ADHD, emotional regulation, executive functioning, feeding therapy, fine motor development and handwriting, parent/caregiver coaching, and support for foster, adoptive, and homeschooling families.

Khusbu is a Speech-Language Pathologist and the Clinical Director of Speech Therapy at Skill Point Therapy. She is passionate about supporting each child’s individual way of communicating while fostering connection, relationships, and meaningful participation.

Her experience spans expressive and receptive language, speech sound development, social communication, AAC, fluency, and feeding, with extensive experience supporting AAC users through both low-tech and high-tech systems. She has completed DIRFloortime® 101 training and incorporates relationship-based principles into her work.

Khusbu earned her M.S. in Speech-Language Pathology from West Texas A&M University and her B.A. in Communication Sciences & Disorders from the University of South Florida. She holds the CCC-SLP and is licensed in Florida, and is fluent in English, Hindi, and Gujarati.

As Director of Practice Operations, Jessica helps keep the day-to-day operations of Skill Point Therapy running smoothly while supporting families throughout their experience with our practice.

From helping families navigate scheduling and communication to supporting our therapists and keeping day-to-day operations moving, she is dedicated to making each family’s experience as stress-free as possible.

Outside of Skill Point Therapy, Jessica’s Christian faith and family are an important part of her life. She is also a huge Disney and Universal fan and enjoys movie nights, puzzles, spending time by the water, and time with the people she loves.
