Class of 2026: Sydney Hilovsky takes occupational therapy to the pool for children with autism
Hilovsky has been pursuing two doctoral degrees in the College of Health Professions, and her aquatic therapy project already has had real-world impact.
With both parents in teaching careers, Sydney Hilovsky thought she wanted to follow a similar path. Then she saw an occupational therapist working with students and she experienced an “a-ha” moment.
“I fell in love with OT and the fact that I can work with people of all ages and all abilities,” Hilovsky said.
